Abstract

Starting in August 2023, the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology has been holding regular guided tours for younger generations to create an opportunity for them to become interested in engineering. As we have reported in the past, the event has been well received by participants every time. However, we have not analyzed the evaluations of the accompanying parents. Therefore, in this study, we compared the evaluations of participants and their parents to verify the importance of parents. As a result, we concluded that it is important for parents to realize that various phenomena in everyday life are connected to the basic technologies that support advanced technology, to get them interested, and to provide them with opportunities to actually show these to their children.
