STEAM KIDS Event to Be Held

We will be holding the STEAM KIDS event at the University of Tokyo on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28.
The event will feature a variety of programs designed to make learning in the STEAM fields fun, including workshops where participants can take their time creating things, interactive shows where parents and children can experience the “wonders” of science and technology together, and hands-on exhibits.Highlights include a fun show where you can sing and dance along to Meiwa Denki’s automatic musical instruments; a lecture on enjoying “math” for children ages 4 and up by Susumu Sakurai, author of the best-selling picture book *The Exciting World of Numbers: A Great Adventure*; and the International Digital Ehon Fair, featuring works from 40 countries around the world!
We opened registration for all shows, exhibits, and workshops on Saturday, and we received about 500 registrations over the weekend alone (*^^*) We’re so happy! We hope you’ll all join us!
