Local Community Events(Miyagi Prefecture)
Following our success in 2009, the TEL Group once againorganized “Talk about Fun Science!” for elementary school
students and their parents in Miyagi Prefecture in 2010. In
conjunction with this event, we also held classroom
outreach sessions in which we led special classes onscientific experiments in six elementary schools in Miyagi
Prefecture with the cooperation of professors from Tohoku
University. The main event was held at Tokyo Electron Hall
Miyagi, and during the science show participants were able
to see the power of air from an air cannon and had thechance to feel static electricity in action as everyone inattendance held hands to receive a small shock.
Conference rooms in the hall were made into a makeshiftscience experiment zone thanks to the help of researchers
from Tohoku University and members of local NPOorganizations. Given the highly favorable feedback fromparticipants, we plan to continue holding this well-received
