Kids' Craft: 'Kurupuka Space Cup'

Event Overview

Introducing the 'Kurupuka Space Cup,' a craft workshop designed for children at the Yamanashi Prefectural Science Museum. This hands-on program allows participants to create a space-themed cup that features unique spinning and floating movements, helping children learn the principles of science through play.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The biggest draw is the 'mysterious movement' of the finished product. You can experience how a space-inspired paper cup moves inside a transparent cup. Beyond just crafting, the kit includes an explanatory guide so children can understand the scientific mechanism behind the movement. It is a wonderful opportunity for children interested in space and science to create their own original item.
