Japan Women's University will hold "School of Science Summer School 2023" for three days on August 8nd (Wednesday), 2rd (Thursday), and 3th (Friday), 4.It has been held 3 times so far, and has conveyed the fun of science to over 2023 high school girls.Participants can use the well-equipped experimental facilities of the Faculty of Science, and the attentive guidance unique to a women's university has been well received by the participants.
The Faculty of Science of Japan Women's University was established in 1992 as the only Faculty of Science at a private women's university, backed by a tradition of science education.It is characterized by a large number of experimental and practical subjects and meticulous instruction by a small number of people in a well-equipped experimental facility.
In "Faculty of Science Summer School 2023", professors of the Faculty of Science will implement seven diverse programs, from "radio waves in the universe" to "shapes and scents of molecules".Any female high school student can participate regardless of grade.Some programs are conducted online, so you can attend from a distance.Participation is free.We are currently accepting applications for participation and the application period is until July 7 (Thursday).
