This year's Science Academy will feature two programs: "The Science Museum Comes to You," where the foundation visits schools to support science experiences and experimental activities, and "Welcome to the Science Museum," which invites students to the National Gwacheon Science Museum. Approximately 500 elementary school students are expected to participate in a total of eight sessions.

The first "Science Museum Comes to You" program was held on May 22 at Hangye Elementary School in Inje County, Gangwon Province, for all 41 students. Various exhibits were set up within the school to create an experience similar to visiting an actual science museum, and science lectures and experimental programs were organized to encourage student participation.

S-Oil established and has operated the S-Oil Science and Culture Foundation since 2011 to contribute to the development of science in Korea. In addition to running science programs for youth, the foundation also supports research and cultivates talent through a range of initiatives, including awarding prizes for outstanding dissertations in science, operating awards for next-generation scientists, and hosting international academic forums in science and engineering fields.
