LEARNING SCIENCE WITH KOREAN CULTURE
We cordially invite you to a virtual cultural science. The virtual cultural science is for students to learn science through Korean culture. The future science teachers from the Ewha Womans University in Korea will share the Korean traditional games, music, arts, geological characteristics, and so on and then show science concepts behind them. We are using the Zoom during the class hours (as cultural science instruction) or in the night (as a cultural science night) or both. Please feel free to join us!
