The school was opened by a lecture titled by “Universe, Black hole, and Time machine”, which was related with “World Year of Physics 2005”. In the afternoon, five experimental classes and two handicraft classes were conducted, then demonstrations were done. They all were related with the technologies close to our life. Judging from the opinions of the attendees, the school successfully gave an introduction to these technologies and provoked many young students to learn science.
