The UNIST Leadership Center has expanded its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education outreach from Ulsan to Busan and the broader Gyeongsang region, reinforcing its role in regional youth education. UNIST has also been recognized as a certified institution for community contribution in acknowledgment of its sustained efforts.
The center has provided hands-on STEM programs for local students through initiatives, such as One-Day STEM Camps, Science Mentorship, the Hi-Leader Camp, and the Dream Science Camp. As participation increased, UNIST partnered this year with the Support Center for Education Donation Center at Pukyong National University to extend the program’s reach.

In 2025, the center introduced a dedicated STEM mentor group to strengthen program quality. University student mentors designed and led classes for schools and education centers in Ulsan and Busan, reaching more than 520 students through interdisciplinary projects and career-focused mentoring.
On December 5, about 300 students from Sajik Middle School in Busan visited UNIST for the One-Day STEM Science Exploration Program. The visit featured STEM project activities, special lectures on artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship, mentoring by the UNIST Autonomous Driving Challenge winning team, and tours of campus research facilities.
