2020 University of Tsukuba Science and Technology Week Kids University will be held
On Sunday, April 21st, we held the Science and Technology Week event “University of Tsukuba Kids University.” This event is full of special classes, experiential tours, science experiment classes, living creature observations, and more, with the aim of “experiencing the fun of science and the charm of university.” Due to an increase in the number of events planned from last year, more children than usual visited and enjoyed the event.
