AI Gwageo: Korean Traditional Science Talent Challenge

A two-day National Science Museum program on October 9–10, 09:30–17:00, combining a Joseon-era civil-service-exam theme with AI and hands-on science activities across the Korean Science and Technology History Hall and outdoor plazas. Some programs are on-site activities, while the separate “Mugwa Training” martial-arts component requires advance booking: applications close October 5 at 18:00 KST; sessions are 10:00 and 13:00 on October 9–10; ages 6 through elementary school; 30 minutes; KRW 1,000; 30 participants per session, 120 total. Participants are instructed to gather at the Geupjecheong booth 30 minutes before their session. These fee, capacity and booking rules apply to Mugwa Training, not the whole event.
