The National Busan Science Museum will host the "2025 Hello Maker" event to foster creative enthusiasm.

The museum announced on September 10 that it will hold its ninth annual maker experience event throughout the entire venue on September 20 and 21.

"Hello Maker" is an event where participants can enjoy maker culture by using their imagination and creativity to make things themselves. It is one of the museum’s flagship programs, attracting over 10,000 visitors each year. This year, in celebration of the museum’s 10th anniversary, the scale and variety of the event have been further expanded.

Makerland will showcase creative works from 46 teams, including nationwide maker groups, middle and high school science clubs, and professional makers. The workshop will offer upcycling experiences such as making recycled robots and keyrings from discarded electronic parts. In "Make As You Wish," visitors can try out activities like automata excavator experiences, centrifugal painting, experiments with conductive flour clay, and creating their own goods.

Special lectures are also scheduled. On September 20, YouTuber Cocobora, who has 730,000 subscribers, will give a lecture titled "Did Something This Trivial Change the World?" On September 21, science creator Heo Seongbeom, a graduate of KAIST, will speak on "How to Survive as a Creative Person."

The outdoor stage will feature circus acts, upcycling performances, and balloon magic shows. In the "Time We Create Together" exhibition, commemorating the museum’s 10th anniversary, visitors can make gears themselves and experience moving a structure with them.

The museum aims to share the appeal of maker culture and provide citizens with creative experiences through this event. Tickets can be reserved in advance through Naver Reservation.

Song Samjong, Director of the National Busan Science Museum, said, "Hello Maker is a special event that awakens the creative instinct and allows people to fully unleash their imagination. We hope you will enjoy the diverse programs we have prepared for the 10th anniversary and experience the charm of science and maker culture together."
