Teikyo University Science Camp
Teikyo University Science Camp

"Teikyo University Science Camp" is a program that was started in the hope that it would help put an end to the recent trend of declining interest in science. . Senior Assistant Professor belonging to the Faculty of Science and Engineering, such as the Department of Mechanical and Precision Systems, the Department of Aerospace Engineering, the Department of Information and Electronic Engineering, and the Department of Biosciences, plan various classes and events on the mechanisms of automobiles, artificial satellites, robots, and DNA. .

Delivery lectures and science experiment lectures

"177 Program" is available for 2022
This is a program to actively nurture students who like science, hoping to help stop the "away from science" that has been pointed out in recent years. At the request of elementary, junior high and high school students and their parents, we hold special classes for Senior Assistant Professor Utsunomiya Campus at our university and schools.

Holding events for girls

We hold events to help junior high and high school girls choose a career in science.
At Teikyo Science Campus, we hold hands-on events for junior high and high school girls, university students, parents, and teachers who are interested in science and technology, where they can interact with female researchers, as well as Rikejo students who are actually active on the front lines of various fields. We plan and hold events for girls, such as lectures, that will help them choose a career in the sciences.

Science camp girls project

Part 1: Let's get in touch with cutting-edge science and technology!

(1) Control yeast growth! (1 day course)
Yeast, which is used in beer and bread, is the most advanced research material in eukaryotic genetic research. The growth rate of yeast is controlled in a temperature-dependent manner, and changes in morphology and cell division speed are observed using a microscope. Learn about the gene control mechanism of living things by understanding how yeast copies, translates, and copies genes correctly every time it divides.
■Teacher in charge: Senior Assistant Professor Yuko Takayama

(2) Let's look at the cells that make up the brain! -New world of microscopes- (1 day course)
Neuroscience research that analyzes brain function is one of the pillars of modern scientific research. We use the latest confocal laser microscopes, integrated fluorescence microscopes, and calcium imaging equipment to measure nerve function to actually measure nerve cells and neural activity using the latest confocal laser microscopes, integrated fluorescence microscopes, and calcium imaging devices that measure nerve function. Observe and experience.
■Teacher in charge: Senior Assistant Professor Takae Hirasawa

(3) What are the sexes of plants? ! (1 day course)
Just like animals, plants are male and female. What is the difference between male and female plants such as spinach? Students will learn how to conduct DNA electrophoresis on the shape and DNA extracted from each plant using a gene amplification technique called the PCR method, and to genetically confirm the sex of a plant based on the differences in migration patterns.
■Teacher in charge: Senior Assistant Professor Masashi Asahina

Part 2: Let's talk with female researchers and engineers!

In order to convey the appeal of choosing a science career path, we will interact with people from various fields and generations and resolve the worries and anxieties associated with choosing a science career. We will create a mind map that will help you imagine your future by selecting a field that interests you and experiencing a simulated life of a scientist, engineer, or university student who will serve as your future role model.

The future of Japan supported by Rikejo!

Do you know what science-related jobs are available for women? Currently, there are high hopes for science-minded girls (Rikejo) to play an active role in a variety of work settings. This time, we will hold a lecture by inviting people who work in the science field or work related to women in the science field. Let's hear about science jobs, companies, and life that are not usually well known! We welcome the participation of junior high and high school girls who are interested in science-related jobs, as well as university students, parents, and teachers who want to learn more about science-related jobs.

Continuing from last year, we will be holding a "Science Camp" event for junior high and high school girls this year as well. While interacting with researchers in various fields and female science students, we will conduct experiments and practical training that you would not normally experience. This year, the event will be held at two locations Itabashi Campus and Utsunomiya Campus. We welcome the participation of middle and high school girls, parents, and teachers who are interested in science and technology.

Friday, August 4, 2017 Itabashi Campus

■Part 1: What will happen to my future if I choose science?
We will ask actual female science and engineering university students to talk about the content of their classes, what they are studying, and their future plans. By choosing a field that interests you and experiencing a simulated life of a university student who will serve as a role model, you will create a mind map to imagine your future.

■Part 2: Science at home
Science is everywhere in our daily lives. First, let's learn about science around us through experiments. This time, we will make bath salts using baking soda, which is a popular cleaning product. Baking soda and citric acid react to create that squishy feeling. Cleaning after bathing is also easy.

Saturday, August 26, 2017 Utsunomiya Campus

■Part 1: Let's experience cutting-edge science and technology!
(Please select your desired course when applying. Experiments will be conducted with approximately 10 people for each course.)

Observe and experience.

(3) Let's experience a walking robot with a simple principle!
We casually put our legs out and walk on two legs. The way the robot walks seems to be jerky, doesn't it? Smooth foot movements are very difficult when moved by a robot, and it tells us that "walking" is a complicated mechanism. Passive walking robots can walk on gentle downhill slopes solely by gravity, without the use of actuators, sensors and controls. Passive walking is energy efficient and is similar to human walking. In this course, we will introduce the research of passive walking robots and actually experience the robots.

■Part 2: Let's talk with female researchers and engineers! We will ask actual female science and engineering university students to talk about the content of their classes, what they are studying, and their future plans. By choosing a field that interests you and experiencing a simulated life of a university student who will serve as a role model, you will create a mind map to imagine your future.

~ My future map ~

It is still difficult for women to maintain a coexistence between life plans such as marriage and childbirth and career plans without the support of companies, the men they work with, and society. This time, we will be inviting people from various fields, including companies, local governments and universities that aim to create a more diverse society, to give lectures on science and engineering jobs and career plans that are not well known. For those of you aiming for a career in science and engineering, why not think about your future map?

(3) Let's think about future work as a game! [Field: Game Science]
The development and industrialization of ``serious games'' are progressing, with the main purpose of solving social problems such as education and medicine, rather than just for fun. In the Netherlands, about half of game development companies are involved in the development and operation of serious games. In this lecture, we will explain serious games and introduce their purpose and examples. Participants will play the analog serious game ``Jobstar,'' which deals with the future of work, experience how serious games solve real-life problems, and deepen the discussion.

■Part 1: Science at home
Science is everywhere in our daily lives. First, let's learn about science around us through experiments. This time, let's mix aroma oils, find your favorite scent, and make a paste perfume. Regular perfumes contain alcohol, but those who are allergic or sensitive to alcohol should not use them. On the other hand, Neri perfume uses petroleum jelly instead of alcohol, so it is safe for people with allergies.
