Have a blast with friends—run, laugh, and enjoy every moment together!

VS PARK is an interactive activity facility where you can enjoy experiences like being on a game show.
On the first day of Summer School, students will take on 26 exciting activities and enjoy a wide variety of fun experiences to the fullest!
We’ll start the day at CGK before heading by CGK bus to World Porters, where VS PARK awaits. After an unforgettable experience, we’ll make our way back to CGK on foot.
Please bring a packed lunch as students will be eating in World Porters or at the local park.

*We will take the CGK bus from CGK Kannai Campus.
*Students will be engaged in physical activity so please feel free to bring a change of clothes if required.

Form and test hypotheses by taking part in multiple fun filled experiments!

Students will channel their curiosity as they work together with friends to investigate ideas, test possibilities, solve challenges, and discover how different approaches can lead to exciting results. Through collaboration, observation, problem-solving, and experimentation, students will experience the scientific method in a fun and meaningful way, where every question can lead to a new discovery!
Experiments Include: Balloon Rocket Lab, Bridge Builders Station, Mystery Liquids Lab, Paper Airplane Engineering, Color and Light Lab and Inventor Station.

Let your imagination run free and create your own ideal dream house!

Students will explore different styles of homes by looking at examples from Japan, England, and rural France, including houses with large gardens and even a private lake. Inspired by these ideas, they will design and create their own “dream house” either through detailed drawings with labels or by building a model individually or in groups.

Discover how art connects people and cultures in our creative Mosaic and Culture day.

Through hands-on mosaic making and cultural exploration, students will investigate patterns, symbols, and stories from around the world while creating their own meaningful artwork.

What can you make with spaghetti and marshmallows?!

Students will use their ingenuity and curiosity to create structures using everyday objects that serve a practical purpose or communicate an idea. We will discuss the form and function of some famous buildings, bridges and statues from Europe after which students will discuss, decide and design original forms of their own! Following this, the students will be given the materials to get started and must work as a team and communicate effectively to create their own building!

Work together to escape from a Desert Island!

Summer is here and with that our summer school friends are jetting off to paradise! Or so they think… In ‘Desert Island Escape’ our intrepid summer schoolers will be tasked with (you guessed it) escaping a desert island! With only their wits and an enormous amount of cardboard, they must work together to create fantastical inventions that will help them escape, survive or perhaps even thrive on a remote island. This class will focus on teamwork, design and imagination. Without the help of 'technology' our friends will test their innovation and survival skills in a fun and inclusive environment, we look forward to welcoming you!

CGK’s partnership with Minatomirai Industrial Museum continues with this two day course giving students exclusive access to the Museum.

This two-day seasonal lesson, developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, is designed to deepen students’ understanding of what happens after rockets deliver objects into space. During the visit to the Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum.

On the first day, students will explore the roles of satellites, space probes, and cargo spacecraft, and investigate how these objects maintain their orientation and stability in the weightless environment of space. Through hands-on gyroscopic experiments, they will observe how spinning objects resist falling and maintain direction, building a foundation for understanding how engineers use the gyroscopic effect in real-world space technology.

In addition, the museum also features Sky, Space, Sea, and Land Zones, where students can explore a variety of exciting and inspiring exhibits.
We will conduct fun, interactive quizzes to review everything we learned at the museum to help the students retain that knowledge for our second day of this project.

On the second day, following the museum experience, the second day will focus on consolidating and applying this knowledge through a teacher-led lesson and hands-on engineering project. Students will review key concepts through demonstrations and then design and build a self-stabilizing spinning CD device, incorporating a simple circuit with a motor to bring their design to life. As they build, students will experiment with different weights and materials to explore how mass and balance affect stability. The lesson will culminate in a final design challenge, where students test their creations to see which model can remain upright the longest, encouraging problem-solving, iteration, and a deeper understanding of how scientific principles are applied in engineering.

*Please note that this is a two day course and students MUST attend both days.
*We will take the CGK bus from CGK Kannai Campus on Day 1.

Students will explore creativity through a fun paper weaving craft.

Using colorful strips of recycled paper, they will learn simple weaving techniques to create their own unique designs.
Add color to your favorite drawings by weaving paper strips through them, and create your own unique patterns!
This hands-on activity helps develop fine motor skills, patience, and an appreciation for patterns and textures.

Let your inner inventor run wild and solve a problem with your own original creation!

Taking inspiration from the hit TV show Dragons Den (Shark Tank) students will create an invention and then pitch it to the class during presentation time. The more information and detail they can provide the more likely that their invention will receive a pass from the judge!
