Kumamoto University International Students Interact Local High School Students

On January 28, ten researchers from the Graduate School of Science and Technology at Kumamoto University visited Dai-Ni High School, a local high school in Kumamoto which has been designated as a “Super Science High School” by the Japanese government.

 

The researchers listened as students of Dai-Ni High School presented their research topics in English, and then asked questions about the scientific process and results of each topic.
