Japan Creative Centre (JCC)

Do you wish to enjoy shooting stars whenever and wherever you want? The Japan Creative Centre (JCC), Embassy of Japan, is delighted to present "Science through entertainment with shooting stars on demand", a lecture and demonstration by Dr. Lena Okajima.

Dr. Lena Okajima has established a science and entertainment company to try a less conventional approach; specifically one which centres on the private sector to contribute to the development of science by connecting science and society. Her shooting star project turns a dream into reality. You can also take a sneak peek on the lecture through a video here to have a clearer picture of her project too!

Don’t miss out on this fascinating session in which she shares her enthusiasm for science, and her plans for the shooting star project.
