"AI Used Like This in Classrooms"... Busan Education Office to Host 'AI Education Center' at BEXCO

Exhibition of AI-Focused School Cases from 51 Schools

Demonstrations and Hands-On Experience of Human-Centered Education

As artificial intelligence has become a core technology for future education, an event will be held to showcase how AI education is actually being implemented in schools across Busan.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education announced that it will operate the 'AI Education Center' at 'AI KOREA 2026', which will take place at BEXCO for three days starting September 9.

'AI KOREA 2026' is a specialized exhibition where visitors can experience the latest AI technologies and industry trends in one place. At this event, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will present various examples of AI-based educational practices and share the direction of human-centered future education required in the age of AI with local citizens.

The AI Education Center operated by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will consist of a total of 52 booths. Special programs and events will be held at the education office booth, and the remaining 51 booths, which include 44 AI-focused schools and 7 AI-integrated education-centered schools, will offer hands-on experiences of the various AI education activities that each school is implementing in real classrooms.

In particular, 'special programs' that closely resemble actual classroom settings are drawing attention.

The special programs will be conducted in the format of live lesson demonstrations. Eight topics will be covered, including Korean language education using 'AI for All Korean', and hands-on machine learning model implementation using marine public data and coding.

The aim is to go beyond mere introduction and experience of AI, and to showcase educational practices where subject classes, public data, and coding are linked with AI to foster students' problem-solving abilities and creative thinking.

For citizens who have difficulty visiting the venue in person, the education office will also provide a live broadcast through its YouTube channel.

This AI Education Center is expected to serve as a platform to share the results of AI education promoted by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education through school-specific cases, as well as an opportunity to exchange experiences accumulated in the field with the broader educational community.

The significance lies in the fact that 51 schools will directly present their own educational activities, allowing visitors to compare and experience AI application cases tailored to the characteristics and educational environments of each school.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to use this event as an opportunity to expand the sharing of outstanding practices among schools, increase accessibility to AI education, and strengthen the foundation for collaboration to reduce the digital divide.

Superintendent Kim Seok-jun stated, "The AI Education Center is a platform for Busan's education to cultivate citizens who understand AI correctly and utilize it responsibly," adding, "We will continue to promote human-centered future education that leads the age of AI by sharing outstanding practices from each school and expanding the collaborative foundation to reduce the digital divide."
