The Mokpo Natural History Museum and the Mokpo Children's Marine Science Museum are launching fall education programs aimed at enhancing students' scientific curiosity and inquiry skills as the new semester begins.
The Mokpo Natural History Museum announced on the 26th that it will operate a hands-on education program titled 'Fall Natural History Class' starting in September, focusing on natural science and dinosaurs.
The regular program will run every Saturday from September 12 to December 19. It will feature participatory education for lower elementary students to experience natural science firsthand and a fusion education program combining science and art centered on dinosaurs for preschool and lower elementary students.
The museum will also offer educational programs for student groups. From Tuesday to Friday, it will provide experiential education in natural history and career exploration in literature and history tailored to elementary, middle, and high school students.
Applications for the regular education program can be submitted through the Mokpo Natural History Museum's website starting September 2, while group education requires prior telephone reservations.
The Mokpo Children's Marine Science Museum will also operate the '2026 Fall Saturday Marine Science Class' every Saturday from September 5 to December 12.
This Saturday Marine Science Class is designed to help children easily and accessibly understand the principles of marine science through various hands-on experiences.
The general marine science course will consist of a total of 13 sessions.
Applications for participation will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis starting from the 26th through the Children's Marine Science Museum's website, with a limit of 20 participants.
Kim Areum, an official at the Mokpo Natural History Museum, stated, "We hope that the various exhibition-linked education programs prepared for the new semester will provide students with opportunities to develop an interest in natural science and marine science and to explore them directly."
