"Prof. Kroto’s Science Class 2011" was held

September 17, 2011

As a part of outreach activities, MANA hosted "Prof. Kroto’s Science Class 2011" for preliminary school students Grade 3 and 4 and their parents on September 17th, 2011. This program was given by Prof. Kroto, Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry in 1996, to help children and their parents all over the world to understand the fun of science. This time, we had 50 pairs of participants.

Students were very actively involved in the class. During Session 1, they eagerly listened to Prof. Kroto’s English lecture though simultaneous interpreting device. Then they made a buckyball, a molecular model of fullerene, with help by their parent and Prof. Kroto in Session 2. Finally the studenyts asked many questions to Prof. Kroto, which surprized him.
