Riddle-Solving Engineering Lab: "Build a Flapping-Wing Airplane and Deliver the Secret Box!"

About this event

Dr. Mechanism forgot the secret box needed for his invention, so participants will take on the mission of building a "mechanism-type flapping-wing airplane" designed by Dr. Mechanism to deliver the secret box. This is a hands-on event combining riddle solving and crafting, where participants solve riddles left by the doctor to gather airplane parts at the parts management center. In the program, participants first collect parts through riddle solving, and then learn about machine mechanisms and mechanical components while building the flapping-wing airplane together with university student assistants. Finally, they complete the mission using the finished airplane. The target audience is 4th-grade elementary school students through 3rd-grade junior high school students, and participants must bring scissors, cellophane tape, and writing utensils. A separate materials fee of 1,000 yen is required.
