Visiting and holding environmental education programs for children at elementary schools by Japan Semiconductor Corporation’s Iwate Operations

Japan Semiconductor Corporation Iwate Operations

Semiconductors are used in many of the electrical products around us, but they are usually built into devices and thus are not easily seen. Since FY2018, Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation Group has incorporated hands-on visiting classes using semiconductors manufactured at our sites into our site activities, and we have gradually expanded the number of sites where these classes are held. In FY2023, the program was introduced at Japan Semiconductor Corporation’s Iwate Operations, where a visiting semiconductor class was held for students from a nearby elementary school. The children who participated in the class were able to deepen their understandings of the roles and structures of semiconductors by actually touching electronic components and working on circuits. They also learned how semiconductors are an important role of solving social and environmental issues.
Number of participants: 23 (mainly from Iitoyo Elementary School in Kitakami City, with some elementary school students from Hanamaki City as well)
