In particular, the programs newly opened for August and September are diversely composed of a total of 12 fields including drones, YouTube, digital drawing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and coding, targeting all age groups from elementary school students’ summer vacation special lectures to adult regular courses.

Major courses include ▲Digital Drawing ▲YouTube Creator (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) ▲Drone Racing ▲Writing Your Own E-book ▲YouTuber Challenge with a YouTuber with 260,000 Subscribers (Grades 3-6), and especially the digital drawing course using professional tablets available at the Lifelong Learning Center is highly popular as participants can create their own drawings.

Additionally, to provide broader educational opportunities, eight evening and weekend courses such as ▲Drawing Three Types of Pictures with iPad ▲Mathematical Play Thinking with Coding ▲Making Friends with Smart AI Robots will be offered. Residents wishing to enroll can apply through the integrated reservation portal on the Yangcheon-gu Office website, with registration on a first-come, first-served basis.

The district is expanding support for early 4th Industrial Revolution education programs for children and adolescents in the area to activate global future education. In April, the Smart Yangcheon Future Education Center operated a free coding class for about 500 kindergarteners, and from August to November, it plans to run a ‘Visiting Elementary Coding Class’ in cooperation with the Sinwol-dong community center. Especially at the ‘Y Education Expo 2023’ held in September, a 4th Industrial Revolution future science experience booth will be operated so that residents can directly experience future education areas that are difficult to encounter in daily life.

Lee Gijae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “We will continue to expand various 4th Industrial Revolution programs and lifelong education that align with changing social trends to further strengthen the future capabilities of our residents.”
