This event provided high-quality science and creative education to students from small schools with fewer than 40 students per school near hub schools, or schools where the 11.5-ton educational truck could not enter, which made it difficult to offer classes. Starting with Dado Elementary School in Naju, Jeollanam-do, it was held at 10 elementary schools across the Honam region, including Gangjin and Wanju, with a total of 240 students participating.

The students took part in the "Laboratory" program, where they could easily and enjoyably learn various scientific principles applied to automobiles through hands-on facilities inside the Mobile Junior Campus vehicle, as well as the "Workshop" program, where they designed and built their own eco-friendly cars. While learning about automotive technology in an accessible and engaging way, they also deepened their understanding of environmental protection and the value of sustainability.

In particular, the "Laboratory" program featured a variety of hands-on devices reflecting the latest mobility trends, including electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, autonomous driving, and braking systems. Through a total of seven experiential facilities, students directly experienced the scientific principles applied to automobiles and gained a vivid understanding of future mobility technologies.

Since September 2018, the Branch School Invitation Day by BMW Korea Future Foundation has provided free science and creative education to a total of 3,440 children. A representative from BMW Korea Future Foundation stated, "We plan to continue expanding educational opportunities so that children across the country can foster an interest in science and the environment and grow into future talents."
