Complex Flow Science Festa: Cutting-Edge Science by High School Students & Researchers @ Miraikan

The "Complex Flow Science Festa - Cutting-Edge Science Communicated by High School Students and Researchers" will be held at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Odaiba on August 15, 2026. This is an interactive science event where high school students learn about cutting-edge science as science communicators and then convey it to the general public.

Event Overview

At this event, participants can directly learn about the latest research in fluid science from researchers and experience experiments and demonstrations. High school students will deepen their understanding of the learned content in their own words and prepare for their afternoon booth presentations. General visitors can directly learn about the appeal of cutting-edge research, what can be studied in fluid science at university, and how research contributes to society.
