Feature ① Infiltrate the forefront of space development, experience an "authentic" development site with all five senses.

Parents and children had an exclusive tour of the artificial satellite development site, which is usually restricted. They experienced the "craftsmanship" supporting cutting-edge technology and the "passion of the site" from multiple perspectives, including trying on full cleanroom suits, riding in high-altitude work vehicles, and conducting experiments on "static electricity removal" to protect precision equipment.

Feature ② Not just a tour. "Verbalization" and "Output" through professional educational methods.

Using Yaruki Switch Group's unique workbooks, participants engaged in reflection and presentations. By verbalizing their surprises and discoveries from the cutting-edge site on the same day, they transformed knowledge into "wisdom" and dramatically boosted children's confidence and spirit of inquiry.

Feature ③ Early full capacity, high satisfaction in post-event surveys.

This event was filled with the enthusiasm of the participating children, and all respondents in the survey answered "satisfied" or higher. The most popular aspect was the artificial satellite factory tour. The design, which allowed participants to not only witness the cutting-edge site but also solidify their experience into concrete knowledge through subsequent output workshops, was highly praised.

The professional perspective of Synspective's "teachers" active on the front lines and the dedicated support of Yaruki Switch Group's instructors maximized the children's curiosity.
