Fostering diverse human resources

NEC Galileo Club

NEC Galileo Club Logo

In recent years there has been a growing concern in Japan that children are losing an interest in science.
NEC has teamed up with NPOs and retired NEC employees to give children the opportunity to experience the joy and thrill of discovery as well as the fascination of science and the fun of designing and making things. "NEC Galileo Club," the science and homespun experiments class, is targeted for elementary school students and is held at schools and science museums nationwide. NEC employees also volunteer in the classroom as support staff for teachers.

Through these activities, NEC hopes to foster the "dreams" and "rich creativity" of the children who will shape our future.

Comments from a Participating Elementary School Pupil

  • I didn't like science very much until now, but I really like it after taking part in this class. I want to try using various tools that I can find to try different experiments.
  • I was interested in science before, and this class made me want to know more about science.
  • I didn't know that NEC helped our everyday life and was even involved in space technology.
  • I am glad that I created something very special today. I want to try it again.
