Lectures at Elementary Schools Yonago Plant (Japan)

In February 2017, we gave a lesson to 60 students in grade 5 at Minokaya Elementary School in Yonago City.
The topic was "Learning about motors." In the lesson, the children divided into groups and assembled simple motors, with the aim of nurturing their interest in motors and manufacturing. We held discussions with the teachers ahead of the lessons to develop content that would most appeal to the children.
On the day, the children raised their hands to ask many questions, and their enthusiasm almost overwhelmed our employee who gave the lessons. Some of the children experienced difficulties with the assembly, but in the end, all of the groups succeeded and they were thrilled when the motors worked.

Through these classes, we believe we were able to raise the students' awareness of the existence of devices such as motors, that enhance our lives, building upon topics that they study about at school such as electricity and magnetism. Moving forward, we hope to continue such activities, whereby children will hear about MinebeaMitsumi, and we can increase the number of young people interested in working at our company.
