Overview
This program is a hands-on workshop for elementary school students interested in science, where they deepen their understanding through experiments and crafts while learning principles and mechanisms. This year marks its fourth year. The Company will teach the mechanisms of scientifically and efficiently moving large objects under the theme, 'The Power of 'Oil' and Electric Drive Systems Learned from Cranes!'
Hydraulic and electric drive systems are indispensable technologies for many industrial machines, including construction machinery, and are considered highly suitable for STEM education.
Furthermore, this lecture will not be limited to classroom study; for the regenerative system, which is a feature of electric drive, a hands-on learning experience is planned where participants will actually assemble model cars to deepen their understanding.
The Company will continue to position industry-academia collaboration and the development of STEM talent as important themes, contributing to society through its business activities.
