Geekble Holds 'Electronics Making Class'

Content startup Geekble (CEO Chan-hoo Park) announced that it will hold an 'Electronics Making Class' for elementary school students.

This one-day class is an experiential educational program designed to help elementary school students learn the basic principles of electronic engineering in a fun way. It is divided into courses for lower grades (2nd to 4th grade) and upper grades (4th to 6th grade) and is held at GeekBlab in Seongsu-dong, Seoul.

The 'Making a Lie Detector' course for elementary school upper grades and middle and high school students will run from February 27 to March 2. This program involves making your own lie detector by utilizing the principle of measuring changes in the electrical resistance of the human body, and you can learn the basic principles of electronic circuits and Ohm's law through hands-on practice.

This course is designed to simultaneously acquire scientific inquiry methods and basic knowledge of electronic engineering. Students will learn scientific principles naturally by understanding the changes in the body that occur when lying and experiencing the process of converting these into electrical signals.

The 'Makey Maker' course for elementary school students will run from February 18th to 20th. Students can experience physical computing, which connects physical objects and digital technology, through coding making using the Makey Makey board and conductive materials.

This course will provide step-by-step learning from a three-hour tour of the Seongsu-dong Geekble Studio to the exploration of conductive materials, coding basics, and artwork creation. Students will be able to develop creativity and problem-solving skills through the process of designing and creating their own interactive artworks, and they will also have time to share their completed artworks with friends and receive feedback.

Geekble CEO Park Chan-hoo said, “I hope that through this one-day class, students will be able to learn the basic principles of electronic engineering in a fun way and develop an interest in science through hands-on experience,” adding, “We will continue to contribute to fostering future science talent through various experiential education programs.”

This program operates with 10 to 20 students per course, and the tuition is 100,000 won for lie detector making and 150,000 won for Makey Maker (including material cost). For more information, please visit the Geekble Edu homepage .
