"J-PARC Outreach Lecture" held in February 2026
◆◇◆Nagi Junior High School, Nagi Town, Okayama Prefecture (Friday, February 6, 2026) ◆◇◆
A special outreach class titled "The Mysteries of the Vast Universe, the Microscopic World, and Accelerators" was delivered on February 6 by Dr. KOBAYASHI Takashi, Director of the J-PARC Center.
The program was designed to encourage students to learn actively while enjoying the experience. In addition to a lecture, the class included a question-and-answer session and group work using a cloud chamber experiment. Participating students asked questions such as "How was the universe created?", "What triggered the formation of the Earth?", "Why does fog form inside the cloud chamber?", and "Why do these results occur?", and engaged in lively exchanges of opinions with Dr. KOBAYASHI.
The class was a meaningful opportunity for students to think independently rather than leaving mysteries unexplored, starting from familiar questions of "why?" and "how?".
Through their surprise and excitement during the experiments, the class also helped spark their interest in science.
