Seoul National University National Instrumen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어tion Center for Environmen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Management (SNU NICEM): Life &Environmen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Science Experimen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Learning for Teenagers

People who frequent the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences’ cafeteria have probably run into some high school students in their school uniforms. This makes people wonder–what are they are doing in a college cafeteria? The answer lies in a NICEM program: Life & Environmen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Science Experimen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Learning.

People who walk by Room 201 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. may see some high school students using microscopes. This is because a number of experiments in this program intrigue students (e.g. a Science in CSI program where students apply life-science experiments to find criminals, DNA electrophoresis, a chemical experiment design utilizing enzymes, etc.). NICEM’s Life and Environmen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Sciences Education Center, es스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어blished to enhance teenagers’ unders스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어nding of science and raise their interest in science and engineering, provides three types of one-day programs during the semester and five types of two-day programs during vacations. The former focuses on the curriculum while the latter offers supplemen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l programs that stimulate students’ intellectual curiosity. These programs are popular because students get to use laboratory equipment that is usually not available in high school classrooms and can explore majors that interested them.

NICEM’s Life & Environmen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Science Experimen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Learning program is organized as follows: one research scientist is in charge of lectures, experiments, and college-student assis스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어nts (스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s). One 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 is appointed to 6-8 participants, creating an opportunity for exchanges between SNU students and high school students. The 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s thoroughly study the materials received in advance and participate in training, allowing them to help run the program safely and smoothly.

Eun-Sung Choi, senior analyst, who worked as a long-time 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어, emphasizes the impor스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어nce of the 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s’ sense of responsibility and interest in the students, saying that “a 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 meets six students, but the students meet only one 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어.” Choi encourages students to record the experiments in de스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어il, adding that “some of the students travel hours from other cities, so I want to make sure they soak up the knowledge as much as possible.” Young Jin Choi, an experienced 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어, also tries to give students strength to think for themselves: “When students are in high school, they tend to focus on finding answers as quickly as possible. However, during this learning program, I want them to think of it as ‘a day of struggle.’ I give them opportunities to think on their own, look for answers.”

Undergraduate 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s draw students’ curiosity from different angles. Students are greatly interested in the field of life science, and they are highly interested not only in the de스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어ils of experiments but also in learning methods of 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s. Jin-Hyeong Lee, plant science major, says, “Many students ask me questions about experiments and also about study methods. Teaching them is very rewarding.” Choi says that “students like to hear information about our departments because CALS has majors that are not very well known.” Some students with good memories from this program later join CALS. Young Jin Choi participated in this learning program when he was a junior in high school, and in 2013 he was accepted into the Department of Landscape Architecture and Rural System Engineering. He says, “The experience of coming to the famous SNU was a precious memory.” He says that the program was a great motivation for him because “I was able to get advice from 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s on minor concerns, time management, and learning methods.”

Undergraduate 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s also benefit a lot from the program. One of the benefits is the sense of pride coming from 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어lking with and helping highly motivated students with science experiments. Young Jin Choi, who reaffirmed his will to enter SNU thanks to the program, has worked as a 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 since his freshman year. He says, “Students find it wonderful that I was once a participant in this program and that this program motivated me to come to SNU.” Young Jin Choi adds, “It is rewarding that I am in a position to share what I learned before.” Eun-Sung Choi, who is still in con스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어ct with his mentees, says, “it feels great when they apply for the program again and remember my name. Some of them with whom I have built relationships are now adults, so we sometimes meet up for lunch or dinner.” Rapport is built among the 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s. Lee points out that “it is good to work as a 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 because you get to meet a variety of people. You meet a number of students, as well as other 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s, who study in different departments and are of different ages.” The undergraduate students who have discovered these benefits tend to devote themselves to 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 work over several years, or they plan their class schedules around the 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 program.

Some 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s join the Life and Environmen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Sciences Education Center after working as experienced 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어s. Choi joined the center early this year, and So Hyun Kwak, who worked as a 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 for four years with Choi, is expected to follow suit in November.
This popular program has 5,000 student participants a year, but it was not as large in the beginning. According to Hyo-Jung Kwak, research scientist, who has been involved in the program since 2010, the program grew quickly because of a high level of participant satisfaction. She says, “The program became well known thus thanks to the word-of-mouth commendations of the students and their teachers. High schools continue to send their students, and there is a steady participation of students studying abroad who come to Korea during vacations. The experiment-based program gives students plenty of time to have firsthand experiences. Also, they get to spend time with SNU students. I think those play an impor스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어nt role in increasing the program satisfaction level.”

The program has been successful, but the NICEM team is not stopping there. This year, it launched a new program for middle-school students. Currently, only one program for middle-school students exists, but the goal is to add new programs to increase their participation alongside the high schoolers. Moreover, the NICEM team is planning a special program for underprivileged students as part of a support project. This special program hopes to aid students in making informed career decisions.

From a student who participated in the experimen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l learning program, to an undergraduate student who entered SNU CALS; and from an undergraduate 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 to a respectful research scientist who joined the Education Center; I can say that the NICEM Experimen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Learning program offers educational opportunities for teenager students, thereby reinforcing SNU’s public nature and providing undergraduates an opportunity to have the practical experience of teaching students. It is not hard to knock on the door of NICEM’s Life and Environmen스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어l Sciences Education Center that is working hard to create various opportunites. To apply for a 스포츠 토토 라이브 스코어 position, undergraduate students can refer to the information on the website and send an e-mail. As more people learn about the value and benefits of this program, more people will enter NICEM with pride.
