2023 (22nd) Kanagawa Science Summer Implementation Report
On Wednesday, August 16, 2023, we carried out "Paper Tower Challenge" at Yokohama Industrial Technology Support Center. Twenty people participated, and six teams competed for the height of the paper tower.
First, we learned the characteristics of the high tower, and then held a strategy meeting for each team, and performed the challenge in the third round. I was nervous in my first self-introduction, but when the strategy meeting and work began, everyone worked seriously and happily while sharing their opinions. Each team built a tower exceeding 150cm while devising how to fold and number of pillars, and the championship was 185.0cm of 3 teams!
Thanks to the participants actively working on it, it was very exciting. Thank you very much for all the participants!
Let's learn about the characteristics of the high tower
Which team is more expensive?
I was able to do it!
During measurement ...
Every team was able to build a tall tower.

Past implementation report
Date of Date | Program name | Contents |
|---|---|---|
2022 | Let's see the sound using salt! | High sounds, low sounds, and sounds are air vibrations, and that vibrations cause the resonance of the membrane. We made a flute with straws, observed how the vibration of the air changed by the way of blowing, the resonance changed according to the sound, and the way the salts bounced. |
2021 | Paper Tower Challenge | Due to the declaration of a state of emergency due to the spread of COVID-19, the event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to everyone who applied. |
2019 | 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! | 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! | 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! | 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! | 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! | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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. |
