Saito Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; Representative Director: Hata Ayumu Daisuke; hereinafter 'SAITO') hosted an experiential event titled 'SAITOLAB: Let's Learn About Electricity Together!' on June 15, 2026, inviting senior-year children from Sengawa Kindergarten as part of its community contribution initiatives.
On the day, children engaged with electricity through fun activities such as paper theater, electric quizzes, crafting LED crystal lamps using PET bottles, and viewing an aerial work platform.
SAITO is dedicated to building social infrastructure that supports daily life and business through electrical installation, telecommunications infrastructure, and ICT-related construction. This event aimed to clearly communicate the company's daily work to local children and help them appreciate the importance of electricity and the joy of making things.
Event Program
- Paper Theater
A paper theater presentation explained the importance of using electricity wisely in a way that children could easily understand. The children listened attentively and learned how electricity is used in everyday life.
- Electricity Quiz (5 questions)
Designed to balance learning and fun, the quiz encouraged enthusiastic participation, with children eagerly raising their hands to answer.
- LED Crystal Lamp Crafting
Using PET bottles, children created their own LED crystal lamps that glow in seven colors. The battery-powered, cordless design ensured safety, and each child took their finished lamp home as a souvenir.
- Aerial Work Platform Viewing
As a surprise at the end of the event, children observed an aerial work platform in action. They were thrilled as the bucket arm extended and rotated. The vehicle was later featured in thank-you letters and drawings from the children, indicating it left a strong impression.
Feedback from Teachers
After the event, teachers shared that children discussed electricity with their families at home. They also reported that the children enjoyed playing with their handmade lamps, turning the lights on and off repeatedly.
SAITO is delighted that this experience deepened the children's interest in electricity and may have sparked curiosity about careers that support daily life.
