The event, held on June 13, aimed to provide children, who are the leading figures of the future generation, with an opportunity to naturally learn about history and foster a sense of gratitude by visiting Robot Land, a familiar space with their families.

Main programs included hands-on booths such as making Shrinkles gratitude message keyrings, decorating patriotism-themed beach bags, making National Defense and Veterans Affairs Diform Blocks, and crafting Taegukgi pinwheels.

In addition, in collaboration with Changwon City, a 6·25 Korean War photo exhibition was held on-site, offering children a vivid educational experience about history and providing parents with time to remember and honor the spirits of national defense heroes.

Director Kim Sang-woo stated, "In celebration of the Month of Patriots and Veterans in June, we prepared this event so that children can remember the noble sacrifices of the national defense heroes and feel gratitude in their daily lives."
