The event will be divided into two parts: a talk concert and career experience. About 200 middle school students from Sejong and 1,500 students nationwide are expected to participate both online and offline.

Professor Jae-Seung Jeong of KAIST will give a lecture on the topic "Next Generation, How to Prepare for the Future," discussing the competencies that youth need to develop to prepare for the future in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The research topics include AI for predicting heart disease through electrocardiogram analysis (Baebang High School), AI that alerts when a child is left alone on a bus (Busan Mechanical Technical High School), and AI to prevent game addiction (Kwangwoon AI High School), among others.

In the career experience area, students will have opportunities to enhance their understanding of advanced industry jobs such as drones, video production, artificial intelligence (AI), and semiconductors. For students who cannot attend in person, a vlog will be produced and posted on the Ministry of Education's YouTube channel.

The Ministry of Education and Kia will sign a business agreement to promote future advanced industry career education on the day. The Ministry of Education will support the smooth operation of career experience programs in new industry fields such as AI, metaverse, and autonomous vehicles, while Kia will support various career experience programs including school visits for new industry career experiences through the Kia Inspiring Class, visits to major companies in Pangyo, and mentoring.
