"J-PARC Outreach Lecture" held in November 2025
◆◇◆ Ibaraki High School and Junior High School (Saturday, November 15, 2025) ◆◇◆
A special outreach lecture titled "Accelerators Opening the Future, Kofun Revealing the Past-Learning through Humanities-Science Integration" was delivered by Dr. TAKAYANAGI Tomohiro from the Accelerator Division.
The lecture was held at Ibaraki High school, Dr. TAKAYANAGI's alma mater, as part of a special outreach program. Dr. TAKAYANAGI spoke passionately about J-PARC, the new interdisciplinary learning approach promoted through the Kofun Project in Tokai Village, and the value of contributing to one's local community.
The lecture took place after school in a voluntary attendance format, with 43 students-from second-year junior high school to second-year high school-gathering in the large conference room. Students asked highly insightful questions, such as, "Does the beam lose energy?" demonstrating a level of curiosity comparable to that of researchers.
At the end of the session, Dr. TAKAYANAGI left the students with an encouraging message: "Image yourself at forty and set your life goals. Think about what you should be doing now-what you should being today. The efforts you make today will shape your future."
