Kids Creative Lab in Takeshiba (Jan–Mar)

キッズクリエイティブ研究所in竹芝(1-3月)

The Kids Creative Lab is a huge hit! Participants engage in philosophical discussions, draw snowflakes, and try their hand at robot programming. …I wonder how everyone’s discoveries and flashes of inspiration will spread throughout the lab?

うちのなかのひみつきち【オンライン】1-3月

The Kids Creative Lab presents the online “Secret Hideout in Our Home” 3-month series! We’ll think about heat, stack sticks, and even try some science experiments in the kitchen?! The setting for “Secret Hideout at Home” is wherever you are right now. We’ll create things using everyday items, move our bodies, and conduct experiments. Our goal is to enrich and transform your daily lives through these workshops and your own “exploration.”

STEAM Workshop: Measure and Create – LED Edition

STEAM講座

Just as you measure length and weight, have you ever measured electricity? Let’s take a close look at what invisible electricity is like using a digital multimeter (tester). You might discover how electricity works and find it fascinating! This session focuses on LEDs. Let’s create your own artwork freely using the LEDs you’ve lit up yourself, along with the materials and tools available at the venue.

A Museum Just for Kids—Exhibition of Objects, Materials, and Tools—

こどもだけのミュージアム‐もの・素材・道具展‐

Children are artists. They freely create using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids.” Artworks, the raw materials that become artworks, the passage of time, and the movements that emerge—these are the essence of this museum. What will you discover today? What can you create…? No matter when or how often you visit, this is a space for play and learning that sparks that sense of excitement. *We are implementing thorough COVID-19 prevention measures, such as limiting capacity to about half of the usual number. Please check the website below for details.

Experience the beautiful and fascinating world of minerals created by nature, and craft your very own amulet that brings out their unique charm.
