This education program is a solar observation experience program for teenagers on summer vacation, designed to provide residents with an opportunity to observe celestial bodies in the city and to enhance the image of Mangwoo History and Culture Park as an educational space.

The special lectures will be held a total of four times until August 20, consisting of ▲theoretical education about the solar system ▲Q&A ▲training on how to use astronomical telescopes ▲observation of sunspots on the sun.

Since March, the district has been operating the celestial observation experience program twice a month, on the second Thursday and fourth Saturday.
