Voices of the children who participated
Before getting on the bus home, we filled out the names of the 25 deep-sea fish we had learned over the day and had a bingo tournament. I could feel the results of today’s learning when I saw them write in 25 squares without hesitation!
Participants said, “I’m so glad I was able to interact with children from Toyama!”, “It made me want to learn more about the body functions and ecology of deep-sea creatures!”, and “This was the most fun program I’ve ever been to!” I heard voices like this. -Organization overview-
