Students from Yeondong Middle School in Sejong visited Connect Hyundai Cheongju's Realworld for a group experience.
It's about a 40-minute drive from Sejong to Cheongju. It's a distance that's not burdensome for school groups to travel, and Connect Hyundai Realworld Cheongju, located on the 3rd floor of the Connect Hyundai Cheongju shopping mall, provides immersive technology experiences using smartphones in an indoor environment unaffected by weather and, above all, in a very safe environment, earning great attention as an experience for teachers and students in the AI era. Because it provides various content experiences based on the latest immersive technology in an offline space, it is highly educational before it is fun and entertaining. In particular, because teamwork, mutual communication, communication, and leadership—essential elements in solving collective problems based on person-to-person interaction in offline spaces—are essential components, it greatly helps cultivate socio-emotional competencies.
Indoor space unaffected by weather, no waiting even for groups
Connect Hyundai Realworld Cheongju is distinctly different from existing experience facilities. With the latest technology integration, pleasant indoor environment, and most importantly, a safe environment, both teachers and students can experience without worry. And the biggest feature of Realworld's simultaneous space is that even groups of 30-40 people can start almost simultaneously without any waiting time.
Typically in experience programs, the number of facilities or equipment is fixed, so the next team must wait for one team to finish. This means half the group participates while half waits. The waiting time is the moment when teachers who have led student groups find most exhausting.
Because Realworld's content operates based on smartphones, space, and technology like QR and AR, multiple teams progress with their own stories simultaneously. If divided into teams of 4-5 people, 30 or 40 people can play together all at once. Yeondong Middle School students also dispersed by team and solved their own missions. And you can see in real-time how far each team has progressed.
Safety is also less of an issue for the same reason. Because it's not about riding dangerous equipment or using one's body extensively, but rather finding clues, thinking, talking, and moving, the burden of leading the group is definitely lighter.
Solving collective problems through person-to-person cooperative structures in offline spaces
The content has a story structure based on K-content, and students become the protagonists in that story and solve the mystery. But they can't solve it alone. The clues are scattered, and some find one clue while others find another. Ultimately, they must gather together to piece things together and find the answer.
As a result, conversation starts without being told to talk. They have to explain what they saw, listen to others, and resolve disagreements. A child emerges who provides direction at a sticking point, and a quiet student may even provide a crucial hint.
Teamwork, communication, leadership. What schools call socio-emotional competencies are not lesson topics here but simply what happens. Children use these competencies without even realizing they're receiving competency education. In the process of experiencing, communication naturally occurs to achieve shared problem-solving goals, and students learn teamwork not through lectures or videos but directly through their bodies.
Content and experience environment that teachers are even more excited about!
How should classrooms change in the AI era? How should lecture-style classes be converted to interactive ones? How should digital technology be integrated into classes? These are the questions teachers face in today's front-line education environments. You can find the answers to these questions directly at Connect Hyundai Realworld Cheongju on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
In fact, Realworld is not just a place for student experiences. The frequency of visits to Realworld Seongsu, Cheongju, and Gwangju by education office job training, lead teacher training, and principal and vice-principal training programs has increased noticeably recently. It's being used as a digital job training course where people directly experience how AI-based experiential content is actually designed and works. If needed, you can also bundle a trend special lecture covering changes in education in the AI era with the experience. It's a program that has been run several times by the education office and schools.
For those visiting from the Chungcheong region
Connect Hyundai Cheongju is located in downtown Cheongju and is a 40-50 minute drive from Sejong and Daejeon. It's feasible for schools in North Chungcheong and South Chungcheong regions to visit as a same-day itinerary.
Not just school groups but youth training centers, community children's centers, career exploration support centers, church youth and middle/high school groups, parent associations and mom café gatherings, and even corporate education departments visit. The purposes vary—free semester career exploration, class bonding activities, training programs, vacation camps, club activities, culture day events, and more.
Content ranges from light 30-minute experiences to immersive ones lasting over an hour, so if you tell us the grade level, number of people, and available time, we can recommend what's best. Groups of 10 or more are accepted, and since there are busy periods, it's safer to contact us at least a week in advance.
Realworld has directly operated spaces in Seongsu, Seoul and Gwangju in addition to Cheongju. Feel free to inquire at a location convenient to your area.
