The workshops featured hands-on programs, including experiences with advanced technology, learning about the properties of radiation, and scientific experiments. At each venue, children explored the fun of science and cutting-edge technology through activities such as RoboMaster piloting experiences provided by the Robot Test Field, as well as advanced technology experiences utilizing information networks and computers.

In the Fukushima Innovation Future Lecture, we introduced Professor Tanaka from Ochanomizu University, who served as the instructor for the "Cubic Rock Salt Specimen Making" course ✨

During Professor Tanaka's workshop, the children showed their completed specimens to the professor and checked their work with smiles on their faces. Professor Tanaka's humorous talk brought many smiles not only to the children but also to the parents in attendance.

Were you able to make a beautiful rock salt specimen? ✨

Additionally, an Innovation Booth was set up at the venue to introduce the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework and conduct public relations activities. Through these experiences, it was an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding not only of the fun of science but also of the cutting-edge initiatives supporting the future of Fukushima.

It was a fulfilling day packed with learning and discoveries that connect to the future ✨
