[Program Phase 1]PROGRAM

Phase 1:
Emerging Course

The first phase is a project aimed at developing next-generation talent in science, mathematics, and information technology, targeting upper elementary and
junior high school students. The goal is to cultivate future scientists who possess a STEAM perspective and way of thinking, along with the qualities and abilities to shape the future, and who can formulate their own "questions to be asked" and explore them with their peers. This will involve proposing a process model for developing STEAM qualities and abilities across elementary, junior high, and high school, as well as a model case for a STEAM talent development program utilizing senior professional engineers. We believe that the strengths of extracurricular educational activities lie in their ability to handle a wide range of content related to specific subject areas, employ diverse approaches to achieve comprehensive, cross-curricular development, and observe the growth process of learners' qualities and abilities across grade levels and school stages.

STEAM learning

Through active learning (AL), experimental lectures by senior engineers, and visits to research facilities, students will re-examine school curriculum (science, arithmetic, and mathematics) from a technical and engineering perspective, gain an understanding of STEAM, and learn inquiry-based learning methods

Research activities

This program combines "independent research" guided by senior professional engineers, a "high school-university collaboration workshop" based on the "practical learning course" that CoREF has been developing as a new type of high school-university collaboration project, and collaboration with the Global Science Campus (GSC), a human resource development project for high school students planned and operated by the University of Tokyo
