The classes will be held five times in total, every other Sunday from May 11 to July 13. The main programs include "Wisdom of Ancestors" (May 11), which explores the scientific principles behind traditional tools; "Making Eco-friendly Detergent" (May 25), which uses surfactants; "Gathering Moisture" (June 15), which teaches about optimal temperature and humidity; "Making a Chemical Battery Clock" (June 29), which involves electrolyte experiments; and "Hologram 3D Imaging" (July 13), which deals with the principles of light interference.

This program is being offered for the first time in response to on-site feedback that there is a need for educational sessions for guardians during classes previously designed only for children.

Senior researcher Lee Jeonghwa stated, "We have designed the themes so that participants can experience various scientific principles found in everyday life," and added, "We hope that the experimental materials provided after class will help families foster scientific thinking and problem-solving skills together at home."

Applications can be submitted through the museum’s website or on-site registration.
