Hosted by Jongno-gu, this event was held to provide youth with opportunities for future planning and career exploration. About 60 booths offering job experiences in various fields were operated, with approximately 1,500 elementary, middle, and high school students and their parents participating.

On this day, Hyundai Engineering operated a total of three experience booths. At the ‘Smart Construction Technology Booth,’ they showcased the patrol robot ‘Spot (SPOT)’ and the ‘Autonomous Drone,’ which are actually used at construction sites. Spot is a quadruped walking robot that patrols areas difficult for humans to check directly and prevents potential accidents on site.

The autonomous drone uses smart sensors to film construction sites in real time, identifying hazards to ensure site safety.

At the ‘Creative Education Booth,’ an introduction to smart cities?urban areas applying advanced information and communication technologies?was provided along with a program allowing participants to design their own. Participants showcased various forms of smart cities filled with their own creativity by utilizing facilities such as ‘smart streetlights’ that automatically adjust brightness through sensors, ‘smart shelters’ which are next-generation bus stops equipped with automatic stop systems and Wi-Fi, and ‘solar panels.’

At the ‘Construction Site Experience Booth,’ a virtual reality (VR) experience center was operated where participants could experience responses to disaster and safety accident situations. Hyundai Engineering’s safety management systems and technologies for accident prevention were also introduced. Additionally, a photo zone was set up where visitors could try on actual site work uniforms and take pictures.

A Hyundai Engineering representative said, “We hope the experience booths prepared by Hyundai Engineering provided a good opportunity for youth to explore their careers,” adding, “We will continue to prepare various educational and experience programs so that young people interested in construction or construction technology can grow into future talents.”
