Kanazawa University High School and University Connection Roundtable Special Event "Exploration / STEAM Festa 2024 ~ Igniting the Inquisitive Spirit of High School Students ~"

Event Details

As part of efforts to promote STEAM education, which integrates the humanities and sciences and crosses disciplines, Center for Management of Teaching and Learning is working in collaboration with the High School-University Articulation Center for High School and University connections and collaboration through cross-disciplinary inquiry-based learning, including the "comprehensive inquiry time" that has become compulsory in high school education.

This program is designed for first-year high school students who are engaged in inquiry-based learning. Through dialogue with university and graduate school students, the program aims to enhance their own spirit of inquiry and create opportunities for new learning and for the future.

With the keywords of inquiry learning and STEAM education, we will provide a place where high school students, undergraduate students, and graduate students can learn from each other through special project of the High School-University Connection Roundtable "Inquiry/STEAM Festa 2024: Ignite the spirit of inquiry in high school students".
