Held under the theme "Autumn Science Walk," this event offers visitors new emotions and scientific inspiration through fusion content that crosses the boundaries between science and art.

In the main building's special exhibition hall, the "Marine Debris Art Exhibition" will be held, featuring artworks created from marine litter collected from the sea. This exhibition, in which artist Kim Jeonga participates, delivers a message of environmental protection by adding imagination to marine remnants such as plastics and discarded fishing nets. An "Interactive Art Sketch Wall," where visitors can draw and participate in creating artworks themselves, will also be available.

In the experience space "Eco-Friendly Eco Lab," there will be hands-on programs using eco-friendly and upcycled materials. Visitors can also experience making robots powered by light (in cooperation with the Next Generation Energy Research Institute). In addition, there will be joint programs with other science museums in the Honam region, including ▲Science Together (in cooperation with the National Jeonbuk Meteorological Science Museum, Jeju Aerospace Museum, and Haenam Dinosaur Museum), ▲Meteorological and Climate Photo Exhibition (in cooperation with the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration), and ▲an exhibition of award-winning works from the 7th Math Art Competition.

Outdoors, the "Art Science Makers Lab," which combines scientific principles with artistic sensibility, will be operated. Participants can enjoy a variety of hands-on activities, such as ▲making moving model boxes, ▲creating fascinating wobbling mobiles, and ▲decorating their own character ornaments.

Other side events include ▲a GraviTrax competition, ▲MBTI career counseling (in cooperation with the Gwangju Talent Lifelong Education Promotion Agency), and ▲the Autumn Walk Library (in cooperation with the Northern Branch of the Children's Book Research Society). During the festival, there will also be a stamp event and an SNS review event, with souvenirs provided to participants.
