The digital experience program for elementary school students, launched alongside the center's opening, has already attracted significant attention and received a positive response even before its official start.

The opening of this center was promoted as Yangju City was selected as a pilot area for the Special Educational Development Zone. The goal is to foster digital capabilities essential for the future society at an early stage and to support children in learning about digital technology in an easy and enjoyable way.

The center offers creative and integrated programs tailored to elementary school students, including 'Making Smart Streetlights Using Arduino' and 'Coding Exploration Team with Roblox.' In addition, customized programs for different age groups are available, such as an AI instructor training course for adults, enabling people of all ages to participate in digital learning.

On weekends, the center hosts experience programs where families can participate together, providing opportunities for parents and children to learn and communicate. The various experience-based contents within the center are designed as spaces where children can directly explore and experiment with digital technologies.

The head of the Future Education Division stated, "The Western Region Digital Capability Enhancement Center will become a place where children can become familiar with digital technology from an early age and nurture their creativity." He added, "We will continue to expand a variety of customized programs to foster future talent and enhance the region's digital competitiveness."
