In an effort to eliminate an “experience gap” that occurs when children’s opportunities to
\r\nexperience things outside of school vary depending on their family’s financial situation, a
\r\nsocial education specialist and the PTA teamed up to hold an “After-School Experience Class”
\r\nat Moriyama Elementary School, Moriyama City in Shiga Prefecture on Wednesday, February 4th.<\/p>\r\n
The program included our company’s “Solar Crafts,” chalk art by Teru of Atelier Soramame,
\r\nand flower arranging by Washida of Washida Farm.<\/p>\r\n
For the “Solar Crafts” class, we wanted the children to experience the joy of making things,
\r\nso they tried assembling Elekit’s “Mecha Hopper.” The “Mecha Hopper” is a solar-powered
\r\ngrasshopper-shaped robot.<\/p>\r\n
We received cooperation from Electronic Parts Shop Pulse and EK Japan Co., Ltd., the manufacturer
\r\nof Elekit, providing the kit, tools, and assembly materials.<\/p>\r\n
In addition, volunteers from Shiga Prefecture’s Radio Wave Appropriate Use Promotion Committee
\r\nhelped the children with the assembly, carefully providing guidance to help with any areas
\r\nwhere they were struggling.
\r\nAll participants were able to complete their projects successfully, and we believe they were
\r\nable to experience the joy of making things.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
