An exhibition offering hands-on experience will be held during winter vacation for children to enjoy along with their parents. It is titled, ‘Light & Color Science Play Experience Exhibition.’

Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Arts Center (Chairman: Cho Jae-hyun) are holding an educational experience exhibition from December 15, 2012 to March 3, 2013 at the Gyeonggi Arts Center gallery for children to gain a better understanding of the principles of science while playing with light and colors.
 
This exhibition offers educational experience programs for children to learn science through art and physical activities, thereby pleasing and impressing parents.

Children can immerse themselves into a total of 30 edu-entertainment programs that will provide them with knowledge and fun at the same time.◇ Sand art shows a harmonious world on sand. ⓒ G-News Plus

The exhibition consists of three themes: scientists who measured the speed of light; scientists who discovered the existence of light; and scientists who studied the properties of light. Through these themes, children can learn about the history of light science and about the scientists that studied light and demonstrated outstanding achievements. Children will have a lot of fun learning about and experiencing the world of science.  

In particular, a laser experience will stimulate children’s curiosity about science while they go through various challenges, such as escaping a laser in a scene of a movie.   

Sand art is a medium that uses various painting techniques such as embossing and debossing of lithographs or the gradation effects of water painting, but using only sand to express this art. Children become artists as they express their feelings and stories by drawing pictures or writing letters using colorful sand.
