Delivery Science Classes

As a purpose that students can commune with science by intuitively understanding it, we have held delivery science classes for children and teachers in elementary schools. We have also opened “University for Citizens of Miyagi Prefecture”. Moreover, for high-school students, we have also lectures and experiments. For company people, we have done lectures and experiments in “KINKEN Summer School” which have started since 1916 established Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University “KINKEN”. In addition, we give talks about the fascination of science and the pleasure of research in many kinds of lecture meetings in which everybody can participate. In some private companies, we have spoken both the mind of researchers and the current status of semiconductors in which I am specialist.
