The interior of the bus is set up as an experiential space that replicates an actual semiconductor production site. It is equipped with a variety of content, including explanations of semiconductor principles and production processes, a four-cut photo zone themed around semiconductors, and a semiconductor career aptitude test. These features allow students to operate devices themselves and gain visual experiences, helping them easily understand the flow of the semiconductor industry and the importance of advanced technology.


The bus will be operated in cooperation with the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea and the Icheon Youth Foundation, touring elementary and middle schools in the region until February 2027. After that, the Icheon Youth Foundation will take over sole operation of the bus.


The handover ceremony was attended by Kim Kyunghee, Mayor of Icheon; Park Myungseo, Chairman of the Icheon City Council; Kim Eunjeong, Superintendent of the Icheon Office of Education; Koo Moonkyung, CEO of the Icheon Youth Foundation; and Park Hoyun, Vice President of SK Hynix.



Mayor Kim stated, "The operation of this Dream Bus is an excellent model for regional and corporate growth as Icheon establishes itself as a semiconductor hub city. We will continue to expand diverse educational and experiential opportunities so that students can nurture their interests and dreams for future industries."
