Abstract

The opportunity in which the researcher explains the research content and science to the society increases, and the importance of science and technology communication is indicated. For the purpose of acquiring a method to transmit the research work of the university to society in an easily comprehensible way, and to accumulate experience of outreach activity, an experimental classroom was planned and conducted by 5 doctoral students from the Hokkaido University Ambitious leader training program. It was exhibited in the 2018 Science Feste held in Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), and a pH measurement experiment using the paper device studied in the university was carried out. Based on a questionnaire conducted with 125 elementary and junior high school students, this report shows that university students who are not familiar with science and technology communication usually utilize their specialty; it also shows how much interest for science can be generated in elementary and junior high school students by learning the importance of experiment design, considering technology and safety which transmits the contents of science studied in the university. These results and discussions are expected to help other young researchers, such as university students, in their outreach activities.
