Gwanak-gu Meets Off-School Classrooms Together with Seoul National University

New Initiatives for 2025 High School Credit System Implementation
Providing Diverse Learning Experiences for Middle and High School Students
Operating Quality Experiment and Practical Training Programs

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is launching a new out-of-school classroom project called ‘Miraechaeum G(Gwanak)O(On)’ this year to provide children with diverse learning experiences.

The Miraechaeum GO project is newly initiated this year to offer various educational opportunities outside of school by utilizing excellent infrastructure such as ▲experimental and practical equipment ▲laboratories ▲faculty members of local educational institutions for high school students in the area.

This initiative is in preparation for the full implementation of the high school credit system in 2025.

After announcing a public contest for the operation support operator of the ‘Miraechaeum GO’ project last May, the Korea Science Academy at Seoul National University was finally selected, raising expectations that students will benefit from high-quality education and excellent infrastructure.

The educational program includes experiments and practical sessions in mathematics, chemistry, physics, earth science, and AI information.

The district plans to provide a total of 60 sessions using regular class hours and after-school hours for selected local high schools that apply in advance, with education conducted in the laboratories of the College of Education at Seoul National University.

In October this year, the district plans to expand participation to middle school students in the area.

Additionally, in connection with the 2024 Gwanak Youth Festival ‘3rd Cheongajeul’ scheduled to be held at Nakseongdae Park on October 26, the district will offer students participating in Miraechaeum GO this year the opportunity to directly operate a ‘Science Camp.’

At the ‘Science Camp,’ the district plans to provide a variety of attractions, including science-related experience booths, Titan robot performances, and science magic shows.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, “Through this math and science experimental program linked with Seoul National University, we expect to provide students with diverse learning experiences, thereby contributing to expanding opportunities for career and academic exploration,” and added, “We will continue to actively strive to discover excellent educational resources in the local community to foster students’ future capabilities.”
