The learning style is an experiment comparing measurements from different tools. Participants measure lengths with a tape measure and a steel ruler. For comparison, they use precision measuring instruments calibrated by an accredited organization. They examine readings from instruments such as vernier calipers alongside their earlier measurements.
Hanguk Saneop Gisul Siheomwon runs the activity. Experiments using tools introduce precision measurement and standards. It suits students who want to move beyond measuring lengths to learn about measurement and standards.

Open to all ages, this is an option to explore with younger companions. Participants make indicators from red cabbage, roses and other materials. They observe color changes as acids and bases react.
The activity continues with making flower shapes using the indicators. Gyeongil High School runs it. It suits children who enjoy visible color changes and making things.
04Best when You want to explore digital technology through web games
Generative AI Game Studio (생성형 AI 게임 스튜디오)

Here, learning takes the form of playing tablet games. Participants use one tablet per person to take on missions in HTML-based games. Sium runs the activity, which is for students in Grade 4 and above.
This is distinct from a class in developing games yourself. Participants play games made with web technology, so it suits students who want to explore digital technology by solving on-screen missions.
- Watch out
- Participation limited to Grade 4 and above
05Best when You want to explore where robots are used
Firefighting with Disaster-Response Robots (재난 대응 로봇 화재 진압)
