2023 (22nd) Kanagawa Science Summer Implementation Report
On Wednesday, August 16, 2023, the "Paper Tower Challenge" was held at the Yokohama Industrial Technology Support Center. With 20 people participating, six teams competed for the height of the paper tower.
First, we learned the characteristics of the high tower, then held a strategy meeting for each team, and took on the challenge three times. I was nervous in the first self-introduction, but when the strategy meeting and work started, everyone shared their opinions and worked seriously and happily. While devising how to fold and the number of pillars, each group created a tower exceeding 150cm, and the championship was 185.0cm of the three groups!
Thanks to the active participation of the participants, it was very exciting. Thank you very much to all the participants!
Let's learn about the characteristics of the high tower
Which team is expensive?
I did it!
In measurement ...
Every team was able to create a high tower.

Compete for height by making a tower with only Perapera paper. Make use of teamwork and imagination to create a high tower in time! The team that made the highest tower won the championship. Imagine it happily while learning that the strength changes depending on how the paper is folded and stacked.

Past Implementation Report
Date of date | Program name | Contents |
|---|---|---|
2022 | Let's see the sound using salt! | The high, low, and sound are the vibrations of the air, and the vibrations cause membrane resonance. I made a whistle with a straw, observed how the air vibration changed by blowing, the resonance changed by sound, and the way the salt grain jumped changed. |
2021 | Paper Tower Challenge | The event was canceled due to the declaration of a state of emergency following the spread of COVID-19. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to those who applied. |
2019 | I made a bridge with 15 sheets of paper and glue, and with just such a rule, I freely thought about how much weight I could withstand, worked with the team, and made a bridge that could withstand weight than any team. The theme was to enhance the imagination of manufacturing, such as finding and improving problems using ideas as a form. | |
2018 | Mini Soli Challenge! | Be sure to place the pilot to put on the prepared sled somewhere and slide instead of rolling. Based on these rules, I freely came up with ideas, worked together as a team, and made sleds that slip faster than any team to enhance the imagination of manufacturing. |
2017 | Camera obscra Let's make it! | The theme was to learn about the nature of light, the work of mirrors and lenses, and the basic principles of cameras while producing camera obscles using cylinders, mirrors and lenses. |
2016 | Camera obscra Let's make it! | The theme was to learn about the nature of light, the work of mirrors and lenses, and the basic principles of cameras while producing camera obscles using cylinders, mirrors and lenses. |
2015 | A Galileo thermometer Let's make it! | A small bottle filled with beads of various sizes to make a float, and a Galileo thermometer that floats and sinks due to changes in temperature. Through the work, I learned the relationship between the density and temperature of matter. |
2014 | A Galileo thermometer Let's make it! | The theme was to learn about the relationship between the density and temperature of water and other substances while producing a Galileo thermometer that floats and sinks due to changes in temperature in a small bottle with beads of various sizes. |
2013 | Light and Color A mysterious relationship | The theme was to observe the spectroscopy of light using aprisms made of agar, and to learn about the close relationship between light and color while creating UV checkers using special paints that color when exposed to sunlight. |
2012 | A great shape of living things | Using familiar things such as origami and plant leaves, the theme was to learn about the "wateryness" that flips water, and to realize the fun of natural sciences. |
2011 | With the power of color | The theme was to create solar cells using the colored water of familiar plants, to have fun thinking about electricity, and to have children realize the fun of science. |
