내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will operate the “Good Energy School Plus” experience booth at the ‘2026 Korea Science Festival with Busan Science Festival,’ which will be held for two days from April 11 to 12 at Exhibition Hall 1 of BEXCO.

The operation of this booth has been organized in accordance with the City’s “2026 Hydrogen Industry Promotion and Safety Awareness Plan” to spread awareness of the need for a transition to eco-friendly energy and a culture of energy conservation practices, as well as to enhance citizens’ understanding of the safety of hydrogen energy, a key future energy source.

The event will be carried out through a public-private cooperation model involving the City, Busan City Gas, Busan Techno Park, and Geumnyeonsan Youth Training Center, and together with the organizer Vision Works, will provide experience-based eco-friendly energy education to approximately 1,000 youths and citizens.

The experience booth will be operated in the Fresh Lab Zone (Booth No. 39) at Exhibition Hall 1 of BEXCO, and will feature four participatory programs.

The main programs include: making a “shaking jeweled cross-stitch toy” using solar cells; creating a self-generating hand fan for energy conservation; producing a four-leaf clover keyring using recycled sock yarn; and the “Carbon OUT Energy Board Game,” which teaches the concept of carbon neutrality.

In addition, the City plans to produce two promotional videos and card news content documenting the entire process of operating the experience booth.

Digital content featuring on-site experiences and hydrogen safety campaign activities will be produced and utilized as educational materials to raise public awareness through various media channels such as YouTube and social networking services (SNS) even after the event.

Park Dong-seok, Director General of the Advanced Industry Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, stated, “We hope that this event, held in conjunction with the Korea Science Festival, will serve as an opportunity for citizens to become more familiar with and safely understand eco-friendly energy, including hydrogen,” adding, “We will continue to promote the vision of ‘Clean Energy City Busan’ through publicity using experience programs and video content.”
