'Detective Watch with MESH' at the Yamanashi Prefectural Science Museum is a hands-on learning program utilizing the latest technology. Using 'MESH' smart sensor technology, participants can learn everything from the basics to advanced applications of programming.
True to its name, 'Detective Watch,' the program allows participants to observe and verify how sensors detect surrounding information and how programs react, much like a detective. It is a highly educational program designed to foster scientific and logical thinking.
The highlight of this class is its 'hands-on' nature. Rather than just listening to a lecture, you will use smart sensor devices like MESH to intuitively understand how to control devices through programming.
For example, you might implement a process where 'if the sensor detects light, the light turns on.' This process of implementing actions through code or blocks is engaging for both children and adults. You can learn how technology functions in the real world by moving the devices yourself. Combining this with the museum's exhibits leads to a much deeper understanding.

The Yamanashi Prefectural Science Museum is a facility that offers various exhibits and experimental classes to deepen understanding of natural sciences. It is easily accessible from surrounding tourist areas and is ideal for families.
Even without prior programming knowledge, you can start by simply 'trying it out.' The key is to observe the device's movements and think about why those movements occurred. It is a perfect opportunity to spark scientific curiosity and deepen your understanding of technology.
Please prepare cash for any fees associated with the event (admission or program fees). Payments can be made in cash at the museum reception.
This program is primarily conducted in Japanese. Specialized explanations or support in English may be limited. We recommend preparing a translation app for smoother communication.
As this program has a capacity limit, we strongly recommend checking availability and making a reservation in advance. Please check the 'Event Availability' section on the official website (◎ Available, ○ Partial availability, △ Few seats left, × Sold out) before your visit.
Since you will be performing experiments and operating devices, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting slightly dirty. No special items are required, but bringing writing utensils may be helpful for taking notes on what you have learned.
