On June 8th, students and teachers gathered at Nagoya University to attend a series of lectures and exhibits. In the 3rd year Bunri Tankyu class, we are currently learning about various aspects of space, so we made sure to attend some lectures related to this theme. To start things off, we were fortunate to learn about the Big Bang from Dr. Naoto Sugiyama, President of the Faculty of Science and the Physics C Laboratory at Nagoya University.
Afterward, students split up to attend different lectures and visit the Nagoya University Museum.
Following our individual sessions, we regrouped and headed across the campus to learn about the ongoing work at the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research.
After a presentation on carbon dating, we explored many interactive displays showcasing various research projects.
Students had the opportunity to use research equipment and experience a VR environment that transformed precipitation data collected by satellites into an interactive world.
