On July 29th, 11 second-year students pursuing the mathematics and
science track at Okayama Ichinomiya High School visited Okayama
University and paid a curtesy call on President MAKINO Hirofumi.
From September 15th to 17th, the high school students will participate
in “SDGs Seminar 2021 Autumn”, a special online seminar hosted by the
Okayama University Faculty of Engineering, where they will get the
chance to experience a demonstration experiment given in English. This
special online seminar will host students from Okayama Ichinomiya High
School as well as INTEC Education College in Malaysia, making it a
unique collaborative event between high school students and university
students. Okayama Ichinomiya High School students will also be
inaugurated as Okayama University SDGs ambassadors, with the mandate to
work alongside Okayama University in its goal to connect Okayama to the
world through various SDGs-related initiatives.
During their visit, the students were encouraged by President MAKINO to
find ways to contribute to scientific and technological innovations. On
the same day, the students participated in a demonstration experiment in
English where they made bath salts for the Okayama University press
release event announcing the upcoming SDGs Seminar 2021 Autumn. Okayama
University students from the Faculty of Engineering, Graduate School of
Natural Science and Technology, and Graduate School Interdisciplinary
Science and Engineering in Health Systems will also participate in the
demonstration experiment in September as teaching assistants to ensure a
safe and successful experiment.
The upcoming SDGs Seminar 2021 Autumn is part of Japan Science and
Technology Agency (JST) Alternative Exchange for SAKURA Invitation
Program and is hosted by the Okayama University Faculty of Engineering
(represented by Technical Research Officer NAKAMURA Yuri) as an online
activity for exchange between high school students and university
students.
Okayama University believes that opportunities for online exchange are very important, especially because movement is restricted due to the spread of the coronavirus. Please look forward to an update on the exchange between high school students, university students, and graduate students – who are all next generation leaders.
