- 5 years ago
The South Korean government is educating students in preparation for the so-called fourth industrial revolution and effect it's going to have on the job market.

This student connects a mini light bulb with colorful wires on a Bluetooth-equipped module.
Following instructions and discussions with his classmate, he successfully creates an IoT lamp.
Entering different numbers on a mobile phone makes the light bulb emit different colors of light.
Experiments like these helped some students to actualize their dream of becoming scientists.
"I dream of becoming a scientist, though I'm not sure what to major in. This class got me interested in this field."
This career education program was prepared by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
This year's program covers six weekly topics …from ICT to IoT and 3D printing.
Because the classes are taught by experts in the field, the students can keep up with the latest changes in technology.
"For career exploration, all that schools can do is provide education on various subjects. Since we're not tech specialists, there's a limit to how much we can teach. I think the program is enough to provide students with a broad perspective."
Based on results from this year's program, Korea's science ministry plans to introduce a more diverse career education program next year.
