Sunchon National University Leads Regional and Educational Field Development

Pre-Workshop for Participants of the 'University Career Exploration Camp' Held

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon National University (President Ko Young-jin) Robot Science Education Center announced on the 9th that it held a preliminary workshop for prospective camp participants to ensure the successful operation of the ‘University Career Exploration Camp’.

The ‘University Career Exploration Camp,’ supported by the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity, is a project that provides various career experience opportunities for middle school students in eup, myeon, and island or remote areas.

The Suncheon National University Robot Science Education Center will conduct this camp from next month through August for about 200 middle and high school students.

They plan to operate a total of six programs related to SW&AI (5 programs) and mathematics (1 program), including software experiences using Coconut and Arduino, activities related to artificial intelligence, and function learning using GeoGebra.

At this preliminary workshop, four enrolled students from the center, 13 mentor participating students, instructors, and supervising professors attended to learn specific educational content and teaching methods aligned with the program’s operational goals and to share know-how on activities.

The ‘Robot Science Education Center’ provides various computer-related classes directly or by invitation to elementary and secondary schools and local children’s centers to enhance the teaching abilities of prospective teachers and reduce educational disparities in the region.

They do not limit their activity area to Suncheon City but expand to island and remote areas located in nearby regions such as Boseong, Yeosu, and Gurye to resolve regional educational disparities and aim to overcome the limitations of superficial computer education through education topics and methods closely related to real life.

Last year, in the Dokdo Club activities for university students nationwide, they won an excellence award by linking computer use with Dokdo promotion and education, such as playing the song “Dokdo is Our Land” using computers and conducting Dokdo quizzes using SNS, widely demonstrating the potential and applicability of computer education through activities connected with various themes rather than just teaching computer functions.

Center Director Lee Hyung-ok said, “Our center wants to provide as many opportunities as possible for prospective teachers and local students to broaden their educational experiences and receive more diverse information education,” adding, “As a national university, we want to take the lead in activities for the development of the region and educational sites.”
