Youth Robotics Seminar and Python Programming Seminar

A youth robotics training seminar was held at the Fukushima Robot Test Field. The seminar included remote control exercises using the Choreonoid robot simulator, operation exercises using actual robots, and drone operation exercises based on the standard performance test methods (STMs). We also conducted a Python programming seminar at education institutions in Minamisoma City (ODAKA Industrial Technology and Commerce High School, Techno Academy Hama, etc.) aimed at fostering young engineers.

Women's IT Career Enhancement Program

We held the Women Programmer Training School (2017-2019) and IT Career Advancement School for Women (2020-present) as information technology (IT) education courses for women looking to find work and advance their careers. Through this program, we have provided recurrent education to women who are currently unemployed, working part time, or looking to start working again after leaving a job due to childbirth, childcare, or other reasons. After they complete their studies, we help participants find high-value-added digital jobs that suit their stages of life, whether that be working for a company in the prefecture, starting their own business, or working from home. By helping to promote the advancement of women, we will contribute to Goal 5 of the SDGs in particular.

Cyber Security Leader Development

In order to develop professionals who can respond to information security threats, we conducted the Cyber Attack Countermeasure Exercise and Information Security Lecture - Practical-type Security Training to Learn from Attack Methods. Cyber security, which allows the reliable, safe, and secure use of ICT, is one of the most sought-after skills in Japan and the world.

World's First Off-Grid Energy Storage Solar Carport Demonstration Study

The University of Aizu launched a joint demonstration project with Aizu Computer Science Laboratories, Inc., Banpu Japan k.k. on the development of a fully off-grid solar carport equipped with energy storage batteries. The fruits of this joint demonstration project will be installed in greater and greater number in Aizuwakamatsu City and elsewhere as modules that connect mobility devices such as micro-mobility and EVs with renewable and distributed energy sources.

Creativity Development Program and Creativity Development Studio

The Creativity Development Program is an educational program to develop the habit of creating things on a daily basis, which is necessary for engineers in this new era. Teams consisting of students from various universities, fields, and countries, participants will propose and develop systems to solve the problems of local governments and companies in the region.
