The final third zone is a citizen participation zone where visitors can send support messages for the Expo bid using the Expo character Heartbugi, and enjoy “Expo by Numbers” and the “Expo OX Quiz.”

Alongside the special exhibition, the National Busan Science Museum will hold various special events and lectures to support the successful bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo.
