Special sponsor of the 9th National Boys and Girls Challenge Creativity Contest
1. Background and Objectives
The purpose of this contest is to allow boys and girls across the country to experience the joy of making things and the importance of teamwork, thereby nurturing a spirit of challenge that enables them to think and act independently. Participating teams are made up of two or three students from the third grade of elementary school to the third grade of junior high school, and compete in driving "mechanical performance cars" based on various themes according to the tasks.
Ebara considers creating opportunities for children to become interested in technology and manufacturing to be one of the pillars of its social contributions, and is a special sponsor of the contest, having established the "Ebara Corporation Award."
