Event Content
1. Impactful! Photo Session with Construction Vehicles
You can sit in the driver's seat of not only construction vehicles but also police motorcycles and road patrol cars for souvenir photos.
(Excavators, wheel loaders, tire rollers, asphalt finishers, garbage trucks, fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, road patrol cars, concrete mixer trucks, water supply vehicles, etc.)
2. Move! Let's Ride Construction Vehicles
You can ride construction vehicles you usually see, such as large excavators and aerial work platforms. You can also operate small excavators and combined rollers with your own hands.
3. Treasure Hunt Using Surveying Equipment (New Project)
This is an experiential booth where you use actual surveying equipment to find hidden treasures based on clues. You explore the destination by relying on indicators such as arrows displayed on the screen, based on the coordinates where the treasure is hidden. You can experience both the fun of surveying and the thrill of puzzle-solving.
4. Vocational Experience Booth
Indoor booths include an experience booth where you can operate an excavator via VR, and a booth where you can learn about the charm of bridges while experiencing it, allowing you to get hands-on experience in civil engineering work.
In addition to these, there will be booths to learn about materials used in civil engineering, and booths to learn about soil liquefaction through experiments with university professors, allowing everyone to enjoy learning about civil engineering.
