Fukuoka City, Minami Ward Kid's University Program 2024! (20 July 2024)
This year, our lab participated in the program organised by the Fukuoka City Minami Ward Office. (for official event page, click here)
PECA Workshop (Practice English Through Creative Activities), planned and organised by our lab, was the first program to kick off this summer.
Our program for this summer got participating elementary school students and their parents to explore making musical instruments using recycled materials. The participants showed their creativity during the workshop and had fun sharing their ideas with other participants.
Our lab members planned and conducted this PECA Workshop.
We thank all the participants for taking part in this workshop! We hope to plan new workshops in the future.

It was a privilege for us to host the visit of Professor Yu-Liang TING and his students from the National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) at Ohashi Campus, Kyushu University.
We also had the opportunity to organise a simple sharing session, during which students shared their robotics arm projects with Japanese Technology teachers via Zoom. In addition, NTNU students also shared the process of designing teaching resources with students in the Global Design Innovation class at the School of Design, Kyushu University.
Early this year, we visited NTNU in March (Click here for details). We hope to continue to strengthen our collaborations with professors and students in NTNU.
