| Event Outline | 57 fifth graders from Matsugaya Elementary School in Hachioji visited the Olympus Museum as part of a project to study the evolution of the manufacturing industry in Japan. Following a brief introduction on Olympus' corporate history, the students built their own camera obscuras, which helped them understand the basics of camera mechanisms, and then took a tour of the Museum. The students listened attentively to the docent and showed great interest as they operated the devices on display. During the post-tour Q&A session, they asked several innocent and unexpected questions, such as wondering why we joined Olympus. |
