'Pebbles of the Universe' is a Korean version of NASA's space school, operated by the space business consortium 'Space Hub' created by Hanwha Aerospace along with affiliates such as Hanwha Systems and Satrec Initiative, in collaboration with KAIST's Department of Aerospace Engineering. It is an experiential education program where students independently carry out all processes from selecting research topics to completion.

The 3rd cohort of students presented the research results of their projects conducted during the education period from July to December last year, under the theme 'Space Technology for the Future of Earth.' All graduates receive a certificate of completion from the KAIST president, along with follow-up educational opportunities such as NASA visits and courses at the KAIST Gifted Education Center.

Son Jae-il, CEO of Hanwha Aerospace, said, "We will support students who have interest and abilities in the space field to develop their potential, and prepare for the space era through continuous discovery and nurturing of space talents."
