Utsunomiya University launched an incubation program “iP-U,” supported by Global Science Campus program of
Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), for high school students who wished to engage in the field of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). The iP-U curriculum is designed to (1) provide incubation for a wide range of science professionals, (2) lead students to achieve a high caliber in their field of interest rather than start specialized education at a lower grade, and (3) use coaching communication rather than teaching. From 134 applicants, 75 students were selected in the summer of 2015, and 71 finished the course in April 2016. This study presents a report on the concept, the curriculum, and the progress of iP-U.
