Visit to Shishukan of Kyoto University

  On June 15th, SG course students visited Shishukan, Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, of Kyoto University and joined in the workshop conducted by its graduate students. The purpose of this tour is that the students get advice on their research from graduate students who represent what leading researchers should be like. Students in Class 24 visit there every year, and this was our fourth visit.
  Each of the eight research groups had one graduate student as an advisor, and they discussed how they should set a research question and a hypothesis, and learned a better way to conduct further research.  This was a great opportunity for them to get a new point of view for their research, and was a motivating experience.
  Some college students who graduated from the SG course planned a campus tour in Kyoto University. Nine students from Tokyo or Kyoto University met our students at Kyoto Station and escorted them to Kyoto University and gave a tour around the campus.  They also joined in the workshop and shared their experiences in high school.
