"Sensor in the Life" closes Aug. 31
In a survey conducted by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in 2003, science was ranked as the subject school students thought to be the least important to learn, even though it was also listed as their favorite. Perhaps children see science as fun but don't quite grasp the relevance of it, which is why innovative museums, such as the Sony ExploraScience, are bound to appeal to any mobile-phone-wielding, Internet-surfing, video-game-playing kid.
