Project Leader

Aim:

The 20th century is the era of progress in technology. We are living surrounded by lots of convenient tools such as airplanes, cars, TVs, computers, which are matters of course for children. Let's encourage children to find out tools used in the past. The tools used by grandparents reflect the life and culture of the period when they lived.

Children will understand the progress of technology by comparing the tools with those used in the modern times.

Method :

"Let's find out tools used by grandparents and introduce them to friends in the world." Please send photos of the tool used by grandparents and of that used today with a short explanation how to use it.

Can you enter a design in the f06 Tool for the future project that will perform this task in a better way?

It will be fun to compare entries from different countries.


Tools our 
grandparents used.
