About the program
A campus, a launch pad, and a city, in ten days.
The GNU–UCF exchange brings Gyeongsang National University students to Central Florida for a hands-on look at American university life. Students are hosted at the University of Central Florida's College of Engineering and Computer Science, tour Rollins College, and go behind the scenes at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
Along the way there are technical talks from NASA, Lockheed Martin, and UCF, connections with student engineering clubs, a hands-on workshop with final presentations, plus Walt Disney World and a tour of Orlando. The same program runs twice: Summer 2026 and Winter 2027.
