AboutAbout the lab
Nurturing children's dreams and creativity
The Kawagoe Lab conducts practice-based research on STEAM education and science and technology communication.
Under the themes of engineering, education, and communication, the lab turns research results into educational interfaces and digital content, and uses them in real educational settings.
It analyzes the data collected there to develop new STEAM education methods and evaluation methods.
The lab also studies the relationship between science and technology and society, aiming to make that relationship better, and conducts research on how to communicate and share its significance.
Key terms
- STEAM education
- Education that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics, going beyond the boundaries of individual subjects to apply learning to real-world problems
- Science and technology communication
- Activities that convey science, technology, and research results to people and think together with them about what these mean in society
- Supernova neutrinos
- Neutrinos, a type of elementary particle, released in huge numbers in the supernova explosion that a massive star undergoes at the end of its life
