Science and Mathematics Festivals Across Seoul for Science Month in April
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced on March 24 that it will hold the "2026 Seoul Convergence Science·Mathematics Spring Festival" in celebration of Science Month in April.
This festival will take place at the Science Education Centers and Mathematics-Science Convergence Education Centers of 11 regional education support offices, targeting a total of approximately 1,800 students and their families enrolled in elementary and middle schools located in Seoul. From April 13 to 30, participants will be able to experience a variety of Seoul-style mathematics, science, and convergence education (K-STEM) programs, including mathematics, science, maker activities, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Each regional Science Education Center and Mathematics-Science Convergence Education Center is a specialized educational institution that regularly offers basic and advanced inquiry programs in mathematics and science for students and parents.
During this festival, the Science Education Centers and Mathematics-Science Convergence Education Centers affiliated with the education support offices will collaborate to operate programs tailored to students from first grade of elementary school through third grade of middle school.
This year, in particular, new programs from the Gangdong-Songpa and Seongdong-Gwangjin Mathematics-Science Convergence Education Centers, which are scheduled to be newly established, have been added, providing more diverse opportunities for mathematics experiences. For the mathematics programs, students can freely choose and apply for the experiential programs at the Dongbu, Seobu, Bukbu, Dongjak-Gwanak, Gangdong-Songpa, and Seongdong-Gwangjin Mathematics-Science Convergence Education Centers, regardless of their residential area.
Students and guardians who wish to participate in the programs can apply through the application link or QR code from March 24 to 31. Participants for each center’s program will be selected by lottery, and the results will be individually notified on April 3.
