Camp for Designing the Future Follow-up Program
In conjunction with the residential Camp for Designing the Future, the Faculty of Policy Management and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies will implement the Camp for Designing the Future Follow-up Program. This program targets award winners from the workshop and provides continuous mentoring from the faculty members who led the workshop. In this program, participants can join ongoing education and research projects as interns and receive guidance and advice from university faculty members for about half a year. This allows them to experience the essence of intellectual activities at a university, as well as SFC's problem-finding and problem-solving style of education, more realistically and over a longer range. Six high school students participated in the follow-up program in the 2018 academic year, four in 2017, and five in 2016.
The program details are as follows. More detailed information will be announced during the residential Camp for Designing the Future workshop. It is not necessary to indicate your interest in entering the follow-up program when applying for the Camp for Designing the Future.
The program runs from the end of the camp until March of the following year. The research groups (seminars) available for participation are those led by the faculty members who conducted the workshops at the residential Camp for Designing the Future.
Participants will, in consultation with their supervising faculty member, define a project (assignment) to be carried out during the internship period.
Utilizing weekends and other times, participants can receive project mentoring (guidance and advice) as needed, either face-to-face or via teleconference.
By participating in research project training camps during long vacation periods, participants can interact with researchers and students from both inside and outside Keio University (scheduled twice during the program / use of SFC facilities is planned).
Those who complete the program will be awarded a certificate of completion.
Transportation costs for research activities are to be borne by the participants. Additionally, participants are expected to cover the actual costs for the research project training camps (approximately 7,000 yen per session when using SFC facilities).
