Hello everyone! We invited Professor Kimura as a special guest for a science show on June 18th. Lots of students joined the show and they were very excited about it! First, he gave a presentation about what experiment he was going to do, and explained about rust, slow reactions, fast reactions, the thermite process, the oxidization of hydrogen and the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. Students were able to join the experiment to make clouds by adiabatic expansion. After that, we enjoyed experimenting with explosions by using balloons and gas. We were surprised at the loud noise and fire which were produced, but we had a great time watching the exciting science show! Thank you very much to Professor Kimura for the interesting activity.

Special event in the village E3

May 15th Tuesday we held an event to honor our 500,000th visitor to the village E³[e-cube]. For our event we invited a special guest, the active and energetic Japanese celebrity Mr. Lou Oshiba. We held 2 sessions, a live interview and then a discussion about his volunteer work. Of course, Mr. Oshiba spoke entirely in English. For the live interview Mr. Oshiba spoke about his career and his experiences in foreign countries when he was younger. For the discussion time he talked about his volunteer work in African countries and also in Japan. All his stories were interesting, funny and powerful. More than 800 students came to hear Mr. Oshiba speak and they were all amazed by his stories and his sense of adventure in doing what he is interested in and not being too shy to speak English. Thank you very much again to Mr. Lou Oshiba and we hope that everyone who joined our event enjoyed it and had a great time with us!! http://www.kindai.ac.jp/e-cube/events/past_events.html

Hello, everyone.

Today, at the Village E³[e-cube], we had a surprise performance of Ryukyukoku- Matsuri-Daiko(Okinawan Taiko Troop). The activity was studying about Okinawa, and a Village E³[e-cube] volunteer student made this special event come true!
It was an excellent performance and all participants of the “Open to Public” (this time of the year, the Village E³[e-cube] is open to public) were fascinated by the performance!
