Abstract

As a form of contributing to society in general, the undertaking of outreach activities and providing of education for children by scientists has now attracted attention. In this society, which is a scientific organization of researchers, there has been a gradual increase in the number of outreach programs by scientists. In this paper, the activities of the “Youth Earth Scientist Forum,” in a junior poster session of the Geological Society of Japan, are introduced. In addition, the effect and significance of these activities are discussed. As a result, it became clear that these activities were of high educational value for students. Moreover, researchers of the society began to increase their activities. Therefore, these activities are effective for the spread of knowledge of geology and education of the younger generation. On the other hand, they are problematic from the view point of the increase in the number of participants and limit of contents.
