🇰🇷👘 What Is Hanbok?
한복 [han-bok] = Hanbok = Traditional Korean Clothing 🇰🇷
Hanbok is traditional Korean clothing known for its beautiful colors 🌈, flowing lines 〰️, comfortable shapes 👗, and elegant proportions 📐.
👩 Traditional women's hanbok usually includes:
👚 Jeogori [저고리] — upper garment
👗 Chima [치마] — skirt
👨 Traditional men's hanbok may include:
👚 Jeogori [저고리] — upper garment
👖 Baji [바지] — trousers
🎀 Ribbons, hats, embroidery, bags, and other accessories can complete the look.
🔬🌡️ S | SCIENCE — Fabric, Air & Weather
Why don't we wear the same clothing in every season? 🤔☀️❄️
Because materials behave differently depending on the environment. 🌏
Hanbok fabrics can differ in:
🧵 Thickness
🪶 Weight
💨 Airflow
💧 Moisture absorption
🌡️ Heat retention
☀️ Sun exposure
❄️ Cold protection
🤸 Flexibility
Imagine walking around Bukchon in summer ☀️🌡️.
Would you prefer:
🧥 Thick, heavy fabric?
or
👕 Lightweight, breathable fabric?
Now imagine visiting in winter ❄️⛄.
Would your answer change? 🤔
🧪🔍 Mini Science Experiment
Prepare two different pieces of fabric. 🧵🧵
👋 Touch them.
💨 Blow air through them.
🔦 Hold them toward a light.
⚖️ Compare their weight.
Then record your observations. 📝
Ask:
🔬 Which material allows more airflow?
🌡️ Which might keep you warmer?
☀️ Which would you choose for summer?
❄️ Which would you choose for winter?
💡 STEM Thinking: Materials have properties, and engineers choose materials according to their purpose.
💻📱 T | TECHNOLOGY — Smart Hanbok Rental
Hanbok is traditional. 👘
But renting one today can involve a lot of modern technology! 📱✨

Think like a technology designer! 🧠💡
🛠️⚙️ E | ENGINEERING — Design a Better Hanbok
Engineering is about solving problems. 🧠➡️💡
Clothing design also involves engineering.
A hanbok designer must think about:
📏 Size
⚖️ Weight
🧵 Material
🤸 Movement
💪 Durability
🌡️ Temperature
🎀 Fastening
👣 Walking
🪑 Sitting
🧍 Standing
👜 Storage
A beautiful hanbok 👘✨ also needs to be practical.
🛠️👘 Engineering Challenge — Travel Hanbok 2.0
Imagine a tourist will wear hanbok for 3 hours ⏰ while walking around Seoul. 🚶♀️🚶♂️
Design a new Travel Hanbok 2.0.
Your design could include:
📱 Smartphone pocket
💳 Card pocket
🗺️ Map pocket
🧴 Small water-bottle holder
🎀 Adjustable fastener
☀️ UV protection
💨 Breathable fabric
🌧️ Water-resistant material
❄️ Removable winter layer
🪶 Lightweight construction
👟 Comfortable footwear
✏️ Draw your design.
🏷️ Give it a name.
📝 Explain why your design is better for travelers.
📐🔢 M | MATHEMATICS — Shapes, Symmetry & Measurement
Look carefully at a hanbok. 👀👘
Can you find mathematics?
Yes! ➕➖✖️➗📐
Look for:
⭕ Circles
🔺 Triangles
⬜ Squares
▭ Rectangles
〰️ Curved lines
↔️ Symmetry
🔁 Repeating patterns
📏 Length
📐 Angles
⚖️ Proportion
🪞📐 Symmetry Challenge
Imagine drawing a vertical line down the center of a hanbok.
⬅️ | ➡️
Compare both sides.
Are they exactly the same?
Almost the same?
Different?
🧠 Math Word
Symmetry means that parts of a design match or correspond around a line, point, or other reference.
📏✏️ Measurement Challenge
Measure or estimate:
👚 Sleeve length
👗 Skirt length
📏 Waist width
🎀 Ribbon length
🌸 Distance between patterns
Example:
A hanbok skirt is:
📏 90 cm
A children's skirt is:
📏 20 cm shorter
Calculate:
90 − 20 = 70 cm ✅
Now create your own hanbok math problem! 🧠➕📐
🔢✏️ CONNECT THE DOTS | 1–10
Ready? 👀✨
Connect:
1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 9 → 10
✏️ Connect each dot carefully.

🧠🏪 STEM PROBLEM-SOLVING CHALLENGE — Run a Hanbok Rental Shop
Imagine you operate a hanbok rental shop near Bukchon Hanok Village. 🏘️👘
Your shop has:
👘 20 hanbok sets
👨👩👧👦 10 customers arriving per hour
🚪 3 fitting rooms
⏱️ 15 minutes per fitting
Let's calculate! 🔢🧠
One hour = 60 minutes
One fitting = 15 minutes
60 ÷ 15 = 4
🚪 One fitting room can theoretically serve:
4 customers per hour
You have 3 fitting rooms.
4 × 3 = 12
🏪 Maximum theoretical capacity:
12 customers per hour
Customers arriving:
10 per hour
Can the fitting rooms theoretically handle the customers?
✅ Yes!
But wait! 🤔
Real customers also need time to:
👘 Choose clothing
📏 Find the correct size
🎀 Select accessories
💇 Style their hair
💳 Pay
📷 Take preparation photos
🧺 Return clothing
🧠 Challenge: How would you redesign the process to reduce waiting time?
