LIVERNESS Corporation and Rolls-Royce Japan K.K. (President: Susumu Kaminaga) will hold the "Rolls-Royce Science Camp," an engineering education program for high school students nationwide, online from August 17 (Tuesday) to 20 (Friday), 2021. Applications will be accepted until 18:00, Wednesday, July 7, 2021.

Rolls-Royce is committed to STEM education to develop the next generation of aerospace professionals, "Generation Aerospace". Since 2017, REVANES Corporation, together with Rolls-Royce Japan K.K., has been implementing the Rolls-Royce Science Camp, an engineering education program that provides hands-on engineering learning through the development of original hovercrafts.

This year, the event will be held online so that more high school students can participate, and participants will be invited from all over Japan. This year's event will also include a programming component. This is a rare opportunity to hear about research and development from Rolls-Royce engineers and engage in discussions while working on development. We encourage you to apply.

If you would like to see how it was implemented in 2019, please visit this URL.
