"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. .
Lectures, science experiments, and hands-on classes
We offer programs in science and engineering, medicine, sports, economics, humanities, languages, and international studies. The program was started as a way to actively cultivate students who love science, hoping to help put a stop to the trend of people turning away from science that has been pointed out in recent years, but in response to requests from elementary, junior high, and high school students and their parents, we have also added fields such as medicine, sports, economics, humanities, and languages/international studies. Special classes by Senior Assistant Professor from Utsunomiya Campus are held 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) Controlling yeast growth! (1-day course) Yeast, used in beer and bread, is the most advanced research material for eukaryotic genetic research. We control the growth rate of yeast in a temperature-dependent manner and observe morphological changes and the speed of cell division under a microscope. By understanding how genes are correctly copied, translated, and transcribed each time yeast divides, we learn about the genetic control mechanisms of living organisms. ■Instructor: Senior Assistant Professor Yuko Takayama
(2) Let's see the cells that make up the brain! - A new world of microscopes - (1-day course) Neuroscience research, which analyzes brain function, is one of the pillars of modern scientific research. Students will be able to observe and experience the actual activity of neurons created from mouse brains, which are used in neuroscience research, using the latest confocal laser microscopes, integrated fluorescence microscopes, and calcium imaging devices to measure neural function. ■Instructor: Senior Assistant Professor Takae Hirasawa
(3) What are the sexes of plants? (1-day course) Just like animals, plants have males and females. What are the differences between male and female plants of plants like spinach? Learn about the techniques used to genetically identify the sex of plants by examining their shape and DNA extracted from each plant using a gene amplification technique called PCR, followed by DNA electrophoresis, and then examining the differences in electrophoretic patterns. ■Instructor: 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.

Following on from last year, we will be holding a "Science Camp" event for female junior and senior high school students this year as well. Participants will be able to interact with researchers in various fields and female science students, while also participating in experiments and practical training that they would not normally be able to experience. This year, the event will be held at two locations: Itabashi Campus and Utsunomiya Campus. We look forward to the participation of female junior and senior high school students, 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.

■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.)
(1) Control yeast growth! 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.
(2) Let's look at the cells that make up the brain! -New world of microscopes- 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.
(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.

(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.
