Electronics Disassembly Workshops

Electronics Disassembly Workshops are held to enable elementary school students to gain a deeper understanding of the structure and workings of home electronic appliances, PCs, and other electronic products. In fiscal 2010, workshops were held at three venues, the Setagaya Arts Center Lifestyle Design Center, the Toshiba Science Museum, and Toshiba Oita Operations, with 115 participants. Participating children received guidance on how to use tools and other essential matters from Toshiba Group employees who participated as "Disassembly Doctors," and learned about the components and technologies employed in the appliances as well as how they are recycled. By enabling children to experience the fun and wonders of science, the workshops stimulate an appreciation of the joy of creating things.
