The Kkumdori Science Festival is a flagship science event in Daejeon, designed to promote scientific culture and foster creative problem-solving and scientific inquiry skills among students. It brings together kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as parents and teachers from across the city.

Key programs include the "Thematic Inquiry Contest," where 40 teams operate exploration and experience booths based on everyday science topics; the "Weekend Science Experience Booths," which offer science play activities for kindergarteners and lower-grade elementary students; the "Career Talk with Scientists," where participants can explore career paths with researchers from the Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone; and family-oriented programs such as the "Family Invention Camp," "Space Travel," and "The Small World."

Yoon Giwon, Director of the Daejeon Institute of Education and Science, stated, "The Kkumdori Science Festival will be an exciting event where students and families can experience and enjoy science together. We expect this festival to further expand participatory science activities for families, significantly contribute to science career exploration, and promote the spread of scientific culture in the region."
