2021 (20th) Kanagawa Science Summer (cancelled)
Last Updated August 2, 2021
While young people are pointed out that young people are separated from science and technology and science, the Yokohama City Industrial Technology Support Center is implementing initiatives to make the children who will lead the future aware of the joy of science.
We will inform you of the programs implemented by the Yokohama Industrial Technology Support Center at Kanagawa Science Summer sponsored by Kanagawa Prefecture on this page.
We look forward to your participation.

Past implementation report
Date of Date | Program name | Executing Agency | Contents |
|---|---|---|---|
2019 | Industrial Technology | We made a bridge with 15 sheets of paper and glue, and with only these rules, we freely thought about how heavy we could withstand the weight of any team. The theme was to enhance the imagination of manufacturing, such as finding and improving problems by shaping ideas and improving them. | |
2018 | Mini sled challenge! | Industrial Technology | Always put the pilot on the prepared sledging somewhere and slide instead of rolling. Based on these rules, we freely came up with ideas, cooperated with the team, and made sleds that slide faster than any team to enhance the imagination of manufacturing. |
2017 | A camera obscura Let's make it! | Industrial Technology | The theme was to learn about the nature of light, the work of mirrors and lenses, and the basic principles of cameras while producing a camera obscura using cylinders, mirrors, and lenses. |
2016 | A camera obscura Let's make it! | Industrial Technology | The theme was to learn about the nature of light, the work of mirrors and lenses, and the basic principles of cameras while producing a camera obscura using cylinders, mirrors, and lenses. |
2015 | A Galileo thermometer Let's make it! | Industrial Technology | We made a float by stuffing beads of various sizes in small bottles to make floats, and produced a Galileo thermometer that floats and sinks due to changes in temperature. Through work, I learned about the relationship between density of matter and temperature. |
2014 | A Galileo thermometer Let's make it! | Industrial Technology | The theme was to learn about the relationship between density and temperature of substances such as water and temperature while creating a Galileo thermometer that floats and sinks due to changes in temperature, the theme was to learn about the relationship between density and temperature of water and other substances. |
2013 | Light and colour Mysterious relationship | Industrial Technology | The theme was to observe the spectroscopy of light using prisms made of agar, and to learn about the close relationship between light and color while making UV checkers using special paints that emit color when exposed to sunlight. |
2012 | A great shape of a living thing | Industrial Technology | Using familiar objects such as origami and plant leaves, the theme was to learn about the fun of natural science while learning about "hydration" that pops water into water. |
2011 | With the power of color | Industrial Technology | The theme was to create solar cells using the colored water of familiar plants, and the theme was to have fun thinking about electricity, and to make children realize the fun of science. |
