A free University of the Ryukyus program in which 15-20 selected high school students study advanced science with professors for about six months, then a smaller group joins university labs to do research and present at conferences.
Ryudai Kagaku-in is the high school part of the university's 'Ryudai SEARCH' elementary-to-high-school science program under JST STELLA. Stage one covers lectures, experiments and exercises beyond high school level (applied chemistry, marine science, health and medicine, information engineering and more), research ethics and logical thinking. Stage two (5-10 students) places students in labs to conduct research, write papers and present at conferences in Japan and abroad. Applicants from outside Okinawa and remote islands are welcome.
