CEO and Representative Director, OUTSENSE Inc.

Creating "Shapes" for Living in Space with Folding Engineering

Creating a "shape" for living in space with origami engineeringIn 2050, a birthday party will be held on the moon. To realize such a world, OUTSENSE is building a house by applying traditional origami techniques. This is the story of a space enthusiast and an origami enthusiast who have come together and are taking on the challenge of changing the ordinary through origami engineering.

<プロフィール>
During his graduate school days, he belonged to JAXA laboratory as a JAXA Special Usage Joint Researcher to study large structures, but he left the laboratory at the same time he left the graduate school because he felt the gap between research and social implementation. Since then, he has been engaged in private space development as an intern at ispace, while considering commercialization as a means of social implementation, aiming to build a base where humans can operate in space. (OUTSENSE). Currently, he is promoting corporate collaboration to create new businesses in various industries using origami as a seed technology, and is involved in initiatives ranging from business development to product development.

Project 4

Think of a research theme with "Biodiversity x Environmental Data!

Planning Partner: Focus Systems Inc.

Subject: Students

Today, global goals for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity are being set and real action is required. For example, can we examine the richness of nature from a glass of water or a spoonful of soil? Let's generate ideas for research themes together through mini-experiments and workshops while introducing social initiatives related to biodiversity and the natural environment, as well as ventures and researchers who are tackling social issues armed with cutting-edge research and analysis technologies!

This project has reached its capacity and is now closed.
