Imagine walking into a modern school of the future. It has advanced AI and coding labs, and exciting makerspaces where students can bring their best ideas to life. In this school, students do not just sit and listen to textbooks. Instead, they learn by doing—coding together, solving real problems, and creating new ideas. By the year 2036, schools across Chuncheon will have AI, coding, and makerspaces fully built into their classes, helping students lead and succeed in the AI era.

Today, I see an interesting problem: many students are great at using everyday apps and social media, but most still struggle to use AI properly for deeper learning and creative work. However, as AI changes the world fast, these AI skills will be the foundation of tomorrow's jobs and society. Because of this, making AI classes mandatory is no longer optional—it is a must. Through these classes, students learn how to think critically, plan ahead, solve tricky problems, and show their creativity.

Also, a makerspace acts as a bridge between imagination and reality. By building and programming their own projects, students change from quiet listeners into true problem-solvers and creators. Some people might say AI education is too early or unnecessary for young students, but I strongly believe it is essential to prepare them for an unpredictable future. AI education is not just about learning tech; it is about giving students the confidence and adaptability to face tomorrow.

To boost our digital skills and successfully handle the challenges of the AI era, we need to take action right now. We must bring AI classes, coding, and modern makerspaces to all our schools, making sure Chuncheon's youth are not just followers, but leaders who shape a brighter future.
