Mason Korea recently wrapped up the 2025 Young Innovators Summer Camp, where 80 elementary, middle, and high school students from Incheon spent four days exploring the technologies shaping the future. Held on the Songdo campus from August 18–21, the program was part of Incheon’s Youth Talent Development initiative.
Each day began with “AI, Robotics, and Me,” a lecture by Eunmee Lee, Associate Professor of English for Academic Purposes, who introduced students to the latest in AI and robotics while encouraging conversations about their ethical use. The program also featured a computer game design workshop led by James Broderick, Assistant Professor of Computer Game Design, giving students a chance to develop and test their own ideas.
“We designed this camp to give students space to explore, play, and discover new ideas,” said Lee, who led the program. “Our goal was to make learning dynamic and creative, something that sparks curiosity.”
Students also built and flew drones, conducted climate change experiments, and explored coding.
They also experienced campus life through a tour led by Mason Korea student ambassadors and visited the National Gwacheon Science Museum.
“The Young Innovators Summer Camp was a meaningful opportunity to strengthen the digital and AI skills of Incheon’s youth while advancing George Mason’s mission of building a more just, free and prosperous world," said Campus Dean Joshua Park.
Organized under Mason Cares, Mason Korea's social impact initiative, and supported by the Incheon Institute for Talent and Lifelong Education and Incheon Global Campus, the camp brought together Mason Korea faculty, student mentors, experts, and volunteers to support and empower local youth.
