On Thursday, March 8, 119 students (2nd year) from Kawasaki Junior High School attached Kawasaki High School visited King SkyFront as a field day which was a part of their carrier education.
First, Mr. Iwasaki, Vice Director of the Center explained about facilities and research contents, and afterwards, students were divided into three groups and a lab tour was conducted. During the lab. tour, researchers introduced the research contents directly using the actual research equipment in front of main laboratories and could also let the students look through a microscope. The students were eager to listen to the explanation at the research area where usually they are not allowed to enter.
In addition, during the time of questions and answers, the students asked many questions such as the cost of treating cancers spread to bone and a treatment with nanomachines, how to become a researcher and so on. It was excellent opportunity for them to be interested in the center. We hope that students who participated today will aim to do their research at iCONM in the future.
