Over 250 Students Participate... Hands-on Experience with Next-Generation Technologies such as AI, Robotics, and Bio
Collaboration with Ulsan City, Ulju-gun, and Buk-gu, Supported by UNIST Student Mentor Group

This camp consists of projects that allow participants to directly experience future technologies such as AI, robotics, bio, and energy.
The UNIST Leadership Center (President Park Jongrae) has organized three summer science camps based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) integrated education. Camp participants will define problems and design solutions through project-based learning (PBL), developing self-directed thinking and problem-solving skills.
This camp is being held in collaboration with local governments. The programs include: Ulju-gun's 'High Leader Camp' (July 23?25, on-site), Buk-gu Ulsan's 'Dream Science Camp' (July 28?30, residential), and Ulsan City's 'UNIST STEM Camp' (August 4?6, residential).
The camp is open to first- and second-year students from general high schools in the Ulsan region, with a total of about 250 participants. They will visit the UNIST campus or stay in residence while participating in hands-on activities.
The program is led by the 'STEM Science Mentor Group', which consists of current UNIST students. The mentor group is responsible for everything from experiment planning and lesson design to learning support. The mentors are young science talents who have received specialized pre-training, and they communicate with participants at their level, guiding autonomous inquiry and collaborative activities.
All camps are centered on STEM integrated education. Participants will experiment with next-generation technologies such as AI, biosensors, and robot design, learning both principles and applications. In particular, they will carry out more than 20 experimental projects, including autonomous robots, transparent solar cells, drone-based logistics systems, local AI LLMs (large language models), and Mars survival simulations, experiencing how science and engineering are applied to real-world problem-solving.
A representative from the Leadership Center said, "This camp translates AI and STEM integrated education into real-world challenges, providing young people with an opportunity not only to enjoy science but also to discover their own potential. We will continue to expand educational cooperation models in partnership with the local community."
