The students and teachers of Tokyo Metropolitan Takehaya Senior High School visited ELSI as a part of the ‘ELSI School Outreach Programme’ on July 15th.

The students were given an opportunity to experience the ‘research environment’ at ELSI through a guided tour of the facilities, including labs. The tour was followed by a lecture on “Exploring the conditions for life through the Earth’s environment” by ELSI’s Specially Appointed Assistant Professor Shintaro Kadoya which was held in the Mishima Hall.

A total of 40 students and teachers joined the programme. “I became more interested in what kind of environment would allow life to exist among the various environments.” shared one of the students of the programme.
