Unna Junior High School Science Club
OIST and Unna Junior High School worked together to start Science Club at the school. The Science Club was established in October 2021.
One of the missions at OIST is to bridge Okinawa and the world of science through educational outreach. We support STEM education for junior high and high school students in Okinawa and promote interdisciplinary approach to community education.
