In order to foster creative convergence talents in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, universities are changing from knowledge-oriented education to competency-oriented education, and the maker education program is attracting attention as a new educational method. Through maker program education, we tried to find out the level of convergence, creativity, caring, and communication competencies. A survey was conducted from May 2nd to May 13th, 2022 for 2nd and 3rd grade students in the Department of Radiology and Sports and Leisure who participated in the Maker Education Program at S University in Daegu City. Research results Convergence competency is 3.35 ± 0.78 points before maker program education, 4.37 ± 0.61 points after education, creative competency is 3.28 ± 0.78 points before maker program education, 4.07 ± 0.69 points after education, and caring competency is 3.71 ± 0.80 points before maker program education Points, 4.25 ± 0.64 points after training, and communication competency were 3.61 ± 0.70 points before maker program training and 4.16 ± 0.63 points after training. There was a statistically significant level difference in all four competencies compared with before training, and the level after training was improved (p<0.05). Through the operation of the maker education program, it was possible to see the effect of cultivating convergence, creativity, caring, and communication competencies. The maker education program can be seen as education for nurturing creative convergence talents in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, and I think that various maker education programs should be operated for more university students.
