Hanwha Group's flagship future talent development program, 'Pebbles of the Universe,' will be held again this year.

The future space talent development program 'Pebbles of the Universe,' co-hosted by Hanwha Group and KAIST, will accept participants until June 12. 'Pebbles of the Universe' is a 'Korean version of NASA's Space School' for middle school students.

This year's theme is 'Space Technology for the Republic of Korea,' and any middle school student in grades 1 or 2 nationwide can apply. Hanwha, a national representative space company, will give wings to the dreams and passion students hold for space.

Launched in 2022, 'Pebbles of the Universe' has produced approximately 130 graduates through the first four cohorts. The themes for each cohort were 'Moon Exploration,' 'Mars Exploration,' 'Space Technology for Earth,' and 'Exploration Beyond the Solar System.'

The first round of selection involves essay review, and the second round consists of debate and interviews, with a final 30 students selected. The selected students will carry out team-based space mission projects from July's humanities conference through December, a six-month period, and will hold a research results presentation and graduation ceremony in January next year.

In a phone interview with this newspaper, a Hanwha official explained, "'Pebbles of the Universe' is a social contribution project at the Hanwha Group level to enhance national competitiveness in the space business, which will become a global arena for future competition among companies."
