The second day of the Hokkaido Science Exploration WOW Program began in Asahikawa. For breakfast, we enjoyed Hokkaido specialties such as milk, white curry, soup curry, and buttered potatoes.
We departed from the hotel and headed to Uematsu Electric. We listened to a lecture by Mr. Uematsu Tsutomu.
Instead of saying "it's impossible," we received encouragement to pursue our dreams with the belief that "thoughts attract" and "anything is possible if you have a dream." Following that, we proceeded to make rockets. We read instructions together, discussing and each person made their own original rocket. After having lunch and playing in the snow for a while, it was finally time for the rocket launch.
Magnificently! Everyone succeeded greatly!
At Michi-no-Eki (Roadside Station) Rice Land Fukagawa, we purchased local specialties such as apples, rice, and soba noodles as souvenirs. Local residents approached us a lot, seeing the students enjoying the snow, which they don't usually see.
At the Asahikawa City Science Museum, we were allowed to peek through a large telescope at the observatory. We were thrilled to see planets such as Mercury and Jupiter. The weather was also good, and we could see clearly in the crisp air. Afterward, we learned about science through interactive exhibits divided into three sections: "Northern Country," "Earth," and "Universe."
