Science Fair Project For Delivery Classes In Elementary And Secondary Schools And Its Significance In Japan

Science Fair Projects were recently introduced to Japanese elementary and secondary schools to enhance creativity and the creative thinking skills of Japanese students. The authors of this paper prepared a unique textbook titled Science Fair Fun in Japan for this purpose. It was used in DELIVERY CLASSES (those taught by college faculty) by Suzuka National College of Technology in Japan to turn young students onto science and engineering through exciting science fair projects. The book is great for developing creative thinking and problem solving skills, which are needed by the Japanese society in order to remain a world competitor of the 21 st century. This paper describes delivery classes, and discusses in detail the science fair project and its significance to Japan.
