Active teachers will demonstrate EduTech class cases using the classroom environment of Hoecheon Middle School, vividly recreating the scene of future classrooms, which has recently become a hot topic, exactly as it appears in school settings.

At the experience booths, various programs such as ▲Smart Bike, Smart Measurement in EduTech Physical Education classrooms, Digital Art Experience ▲AI Music Courseware ▲VR Experience are prepared for parents and students to directly try and test.
