[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Oh Yu-seong, a second-year student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Busan Mechanical Technical High School in Haeundae-gu, Busan, won the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award, the highest prize, at the 43rd National Student Science Invention Competition held last August at the National Science Museum in Daejeon.

Busan Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 11th that Oh’s advisor, teacher Park Eun-young, also received a special award.

At this competition, Oh Yu-seong submitted an electrical inspection device that can be worn on a belt. This device combines a continuity check function necessary for electrical work and a high-voltage current alarm function.

Oh Yu-seong said, “I am very happy to receive such a great award,” and added, “I invented this device to improve problems at work sites, and I am grateful to my parents and teachers who supported me whenever I struggled.”

Yang Byung-chun, principal of Busan Mechanical Technical High School, said, “I sincerely congratulate him for achieving good results through hard work,” and added, “We will continue to spare no effort and support to promote invention education.”

This competition is a prestigious event hosted by the National Science Museum since 1979 to cultivate scientific problem-solving skills and encourage invention activities through the process of students materializing their creative ideas.
