The Camp for Designing the Future 2024 was held at Keio University's Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC) and Tsuruoka Town Campus of Keio (TTCK).
Primarily targeting first- and second-year high school students, the one-day workshop at the SFC venue was held on Wednesday, July 31. The overnight workshop at the SFC venue and the workshop at the Tsuruoka Town Campus of Keio (TTCK) in Yamagata Prefecture were held for two days and one night from Wednesday, July 31.
A workshop in Tottori Prefecture is scheduled to be held for three days and two nights from Thursday, August 8.
Now in its 14th year, the Camp for Designing the Future was planned as a place for participants, meeting for the first time, to pool their diverse knowledge and wisdom and experientially consider the "ability to execute" that leads to the future. By communicating with fellow campers while tackling open-ended problems, flexible ideas and flashes of insight are born.
At the SFC venue, a total of 81 high school students from all over the country were divided into four workshops, where they proactively engaged in creative activities and discussions with faculty members and SFC students. The high school students, who seemed a bit awkward at the morning orientation, opened up and spurred each other on as they engaged in heated discussions that rivaled the intense heat, worked on their projects using their full intellectual and physical abilities, and shared their thoughts and ideas with their peers.
At the Tsuruoka workshop, held concurrently with the SFC event, 19 high school students gathered at the Keio University Tsuruoka Town Campus of Keio (TTCK). They experienced and learned about Tsuruoka's food culture and the latest biotechnology from the Institute for Advanced Biosciences, engaging in passionate discussions.
At both venues, it was a day of meeting new friends and fostering exchange, where participants were exposed to the unique perspectives and ways of thinking of SFC, taking a step forward toward the future.
We will report on the Tottori workshop, which will be held from Thursday, August 8, after the event.
