The “STEAM KIDS Kickoff Event” Was a Huge Success!

The “STEAM KIDS Kickoff Event,” held at the end of May, was a huge success!
During the workshops, we saw children thinking while having fun, concentrating on their creations, and expanding opportunities for collaborative projects with their peers. At the hands-on exhibits, we observed them exploring and seeking out what they personally found interesting through play—neither relying solely on analog nor digital methods.In addition, during the “Show & Talk” session, participants—along with our guests—experienced creative thinking techniques for using technology to make the everyday world more fun and entertaining, and listened to stories that brought the excitement of math to life. The event captured the interest of everyone from children to adults, making for a truly meaningful experience!
Please check out the report page below to see how the day unfolded.
