On Wednesday, August 5, 2026, we once again helped out at the Summer Science Class 2026, held at Tokatsu Techno Plaza and hosted by GRIPS.
About ten elementary school students took part and tried their hand at programming a robotic arm.
The instructor was Mr. Morita from GRIPS.
Programming the robotic arm to move.
Picking up snacks with the robotic arm’s gripper.
The 3D printer was running, too.
Looks like a transport robot.
A glimpse of the venue.
When the robot arm moves right in front of you, exactly as you programmed it, not just the children but the adults get absorbed too.
Seeing something actually move, rather than everything staying inside a screen, is a big part of the appeal.
Thank you, Mr. Morita from GRIPS!
