Ulsan Office of Education to Pilot After-School Programs in New Industry Fields

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education is operating the "Beethoven's Coding Symphony" as a pilot after-school program in the new industry sector this year.

"Beethoven's Coding Symphony" is a software and artificial intelligence summer camp after-school program that visits schools. The title, recommended by ChatGPT, means "connecting Beethoven's creative process with the creativity of coding."

Starting from the 21st of last month and running until the 28th of next month, this camp offers 72 courses for 1,100 students across 28 elementary schools.

The after-school program pilot project, "Beethoven's Coding Symphony," is currently underway.

This pilot project is divided into two programs: the basic coding course A-type "Composing Children's Songs with Coding" for 3rd to 4th graders, and the advanced course B-type "Composing Classical Music with Coding" for 5th to 6th graders, allowing students to choose and engage in customized learning according to their level.

The camp is conducted with two instructors per course, and all textbooks and teaching materials are supported by the Office of Education. Students who complete the educational activities receive certificates of completion on site.

On the 18th, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education held a practical program competency enhancement training session for 40 instructors composed of current elementary, middle, and high school teachers at the Oesol Conference Room.

As of June this year, out of 244 elementary, middle, and high schools in the Ulsan area, 191 schools (70.4%) operate a total of 4,742 after-school programs, including 1,395 curricular and 3,347 special aptitude programs.
