Future Scientists' Dreams Grow Strong... Wolseong Headquarters Conducts 'Atom Engineering Class for Elementary Students'

Fostering Scientific Talent to Awaken Children's Scientific Curiosity

Since October 29 until November 8, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power's Wolsong Headquarters conducted the 'Atom Engineering Classroom' for 5th and 6th grade students at four elementary schools in the East Gyeongju area (Gampo Elementary, Nasan Elementary, Yangnam Elementary, Yangbuk Elementary).

The Atom Engineering Classroom is a class where students learn basic scientific principles through various science experiments and practical activities. It is Wolsong Headquarters' representative social contribution project for nurturing talent that awakens children's scientific curiosity and creativity.

This classroom was conducted as an engaging lesson where Wolsong Headquarters employees acted as one-day teachers, teaching the principles and development process of speaker technology, an essential sound reproduction technology in daily life, as well as engineering technologies related to Bluetooth, a wireless communication technology. Students directly assembled Bluetooth speakers that connect wirelessly without wires and listened to music by connecting them to their phones.

Kim Han-seong, head of Wolsong Headquarters, said, "I hope students develop an interest in science through Wolsong Headquarters' Atom Engineering Classroom," and added, "We expect talented local students to grow into leaders of not only the nuclear power industry but also the future science industry of Korea."

In addition to the Atom Engineering Classroom program, Wolsong Headquarters is making efforts to nurture local talent through various methods such as the Einstein Class, Wolsong Mentors Program, and foreign language learning support.
