AISIN Environmental Education Program

AISIN is engaged on the “AISIN Environmental Education Program” targeted at primary school pupils in districts in the vicinity of our head office and factories. The aim of this program is to enable children to experience for themselves the importance of protecting the environment through a variety of experiences such as caring for forest, studying the ecology of lakes and rivers, and visiting our total environmental study facility “Aisin Ecotopia.”

Study Program on Mono-Zukuri (Manufacturing)

AISIN Mono-Zukuri Hiroba (Manufacturing Forum)

AISIN is engaged in social contribution activities that allow children to experience the excitement of science and technology through "mono-zukuri (manufacturing)." One such activity is the "AISIN Mono-zukuri Hiroba (Manufacturing Forum)," a craft class taught by volunteers consisting of AISIN employees and retirees.

The forum held in FY2011, which was the ninth installment, was based on the theme of buoyancy and propulsion. It hosted about 100 local elementary school pupils. The children first learnt the principles behind the hovercraft, then built and operated a mini-hovercraft under the supervision of AISIN employees and retirees. Tasks such as finely adjusting the position of the motor to ensure the hovercraft moves fast and in a straight line allowed the children to gain first-hand experience of the excitement of building and improving their creations.
