Hands-on Science, Limitless Potential with STEM Medical Science Kit
Current Challenges in Science Education
- Lack of Hands-On Learning Opportunities:
Many educational systems still rely heavily on theoretical knowledge, offering limited opportunities for students to engage in practical, hands-on experiments. This disconnect makes it harder for students to fully understand scientific principles and their real-world applications. - Limited Integration of Advanced Technologies:
Science education often lags behind in incorporating modern technologies like AI, nanotechnology, and bioengineering into the curriculum. This gap leaves students underprepared for careers in cutting-edge scientific fields. - Insufficient Resources for Educators:
Teachers frequently face challenges in accessing up-to-date teaching tools, materials, and professional training. This can make it difficult to provide students with engaging and innovative learning experiences.
This program supports students in exploring and experiencing advanced technology through self-directed learning, focusing on cultivating interdisciplinary science and technology talents for the future bio-health industry. It encourages students to shift from learning nano fusion science solely from books to engaging in hands-on experiences, fostering creative ideas. Additionally, the program aims to expand the application of immunodiagnostic science in everyday life, contributing to the growth of the creative economy.
The program content includes providing students with access to advanced nano-bio fusion science equipment that is typically hard to access in schools, enabling them to conduct experiments and broaden their scientific mindset. Through this, students explore nano-biotechnology, electrochemical techniques, semiconductor engineering, and digital fusion. The program also combines virtual instruction with hands-on experimentation, emphasizing teamwork and collaboration within groups.
By offering essential educational materials, the program reduces the burden of lesson preparation for teachers, helping students develop convergent thinking and problem-solving skills that can contribute to the future of the digital health industry. As the digital health industry rapidly grows, nano-biosensors are expected to play a significant role. This program provides students with insights into the future career landscape and inspiration for pursuing careers in science and technology.
Hands-on STEM experiential learning enhances educational equity by providing equal learning opportunities for all students. Students from diverse backgrounds can engage in hands-on experiments, create projects, and make discoveries, allowing them to explore their potential and consider careers in STEM fields.
STEM Kit Implementation Strategies
- Partnerships with Universities and Research Institutions
Collaborate with local universities and research facilities to give students access to advanced laboratories and mentoring from top scientists and engineers.
- Professional Development for Teachers
Invest in training and resources to enable teachers to confidently integrate hands-on STEM activities and projects into the curriculum.
- Community and Industry Engagement
Strengthen partnerships with local industries and community organizations to provide students with internships and shadowing opportunities, linking classroom learning with future career pathways.
Investing in hands-on STEM experiential learning in advanced science and nanobiomedical technology is not merely an educational initiative; it is a strategic investment in the future. By preparing students with the skills, knowledge, and creativity necessary to navigate and contribute to the complexities of the modern world, we can establish a leadership role in innovation, economic development, and social progress. Education leaders should adopt this approach to equip students to meet the challenges of the 21st century successfully.

How Our Biosensor Works
Antibodies are attached to the inner surface of a packaged biosensor, and the sample solution contains biomaterials such as antigens, antibodies, and enzymes bound to each other
When the sample solution is put into the biosensor, the biomaterial was bound to the antibody that had temporarily adhered to the interior of the biosensor. In this state, an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs between the enzyme and the substrate, releasing electrons and producing color at the same time.
The degree of electrons released through the oxidation-reduction reaction between the enzyme and the substrate can be quantified using the measurement device ‘MARAESEN 1000’.
- Lower Sensitivity: The detection limit is 10 ng/mL, which is lower compared to the 3D biosensor.
- Requires Larger Sample Volume: Measurement requires a significant amount of sample.
- Signal Amplification is Not Possible: Unable to amplify the signal for improved sensitivity.
- Higher Sensitivity: The detection limit is 10 pg/mL, which is 1,000 times more sensitive than the 2D biosensor.
- Effective with Smaller Sample Volumes: Measurement and evaluation are possible with a small sample amount.
- Signal Amplification Capability: Amplifies the signal, achieving 100 times higher sensitivity compared to the 2D biosensor, allowing for highly sensitive detection.

“The Story of STEM Education Kits Born from a Passion for Science and Education”
Currently leading innovation as an entrepreneur, CEO Heayeon Lee has always held a deep interest and passion for education, stemming from her background as a professor. Even while conducting cutting-edge research in nanobiotechnology, she firmly believed that science should not be an exclusive domain for experts but accessible and understandable to everyone.
This belief led her to ponder the question, “What is the key to unlocking the future?” The answer she found was education. With a goal to help students embrace science as a source of joy rather than fear, she set out to create the STEM education kit.
Through this journey, she realized the critical importance of lowering the barriers to science. The STEM education kit is not just a learning tool. It is designed to allow students to observe biosensors, explore how they work, and experiment with successes and failures, all while experiencing the potential of science and technology firsthand. Beyond acquiring knowledge, students develop creative problem-solving skills and gain confidence in science and technology.
With the STEM kit, CEO Heayeon Lee aims to deliver the message, “Science is for everyone.” She says “Learning science is not merely about accumulating knowledge. It’s a process of understanding the world and gaining the power to change it.”
The STEM education kit embodies this philosophy, serving as a warm teaching tool that nurtures scientific thinking and creativity in students. Moving forward, this kit will continue to inspire dreams, unlock possibilities, and shape the future in the hands of countless students worldwide.
