A three-day holiday starting with Hangul Day,
Chuncheon City Hall’s front yard turns into a science playground 🔬
Now in its 11th year!
The 11th Gangwon Science & Technology Festival
will be held for two days, October 9 (Fri) to 10 (Sat),
from 10:00~18:00
at Chuncheon City Hall Plaza and surrounding areas.
I’ve organized the official press release from Chuncheon City and Gangwon Province (October 7)
and the festival website’s schedule and notices.
🎪 About the Festival
This is a festival where local residents can experience
cutting-edge science and technology all in one place.
The press release describes it as the largest science festival in Gangwon.
This year’s slogan is
”Gangwon Science & AI Festival for Everyone.”
AI, robots, VR, and space science all come together here.
The website lists the target audience as “local youth,
families, and general residents,“
and highlights science experiment shows, Golden Bell quiz, and science movies
as programs for children and teens.
The event is hosted by Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province and Chuncheon City,
and organized by the Gangwon Research & Development Support Foundation
and Gangwon Science Culture Hub Center.
✨ What’s on Stage on the 9th (Fri)?
Stage programs take place at the City Hall Outdoor Plaza.
I’ve put the website’s “Main Schedule” image into a table.
