Event Background and Purpose

In recent years, space development has been accelerating worldwide, and Japan has also begun to focus on domestic industry creation, such as establishing a 1 trillion yen space strategy fund over 10 years. The global market is expected to exceed 250 trillion yen by 2035, but disseminating information and developing human resources for the children who will support Japan's future is an urgent issue. This event aims to increase children's interest in science and technology by providing space experiences using the latest ICT technologies such as VR/AR to infants and elementary school students.
