As a part of marking the university's 40th year anniversary, this year's See-KAIST, a scientific and technological public exhibit that is hosted along with Open-KAIST every other year, was held at the lobby areas of the first and second floors of the Sports Complex from November 2 to 4. 

 

This year, representatives from 12 departments, 28 labs and 5 research institutes within KAIST participated in the informative and entertaining event. In addition, several industrial companies and research and development institutes contributed as well and showcased their achievements in the field of science and technology. 

 

Some of the works that were on display included, but were not limited to, innovative topics such as "Simulating Device for Observing an Artificial Colon through Endoscopy" by the College of Engineering, "Advent of the Thinking Machine" by the College of Information Science & Technology, "Designing the Brain" by the College of Life Science & Bioengineering, "Phase Change of Supersolids at Extremely Low Temperatures" by the College of Natural Science and "Research Institutes for Artificial Satellites and Aerospace Exploration" by some of KAIST's very own institutes. 

 

Furthermore, in order to stimulate learning and encourage creative thinking in the minds of young scientists, KAIST provided an open space for displaying the research work of several groups of students from science high schools. 

 

See-KAIST is one of the few public exhibitions that is wholly planned and hosted by a science and engineering school in Korea. The program was especially designed to promote an interaction between the mainstream public and technology, and was accordingly filled with a variety of fun and educational events. Children and adults alike joined in on the excitement as they had a good look at the numerous standing booths, each with numerous posters and automatons, directly seeing and experiencing for themselves the bright future of scientific applications for people's use. 

 

Although the event lasted from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day with no prior reservations required, visitors were welcome to tour around the entire campus during the exhibit dates. In addition, individual labs opened their doors to those who made prior reservations by phone.
