TOMAS Science Class: Summer Festival from July 2026
TOMAS, a subsidiary of Riso Educational Group, is excited to announce its upcoming event, the "TOMAS Science Class: Summer Festival to Explore Science," which will run from July 1 to August 31, 2026, at various TOMAS locations across Tokyo.
This engaging science program aims to spark curiosity and enhance scientific thinking among elementary school students through hands-on experiments related to traditional summer festivals, known as "matsuri" in Japan. The event is designed for both aspiring middle school students and younger children, encouraging families to join in the fun.
Experiments to Look Forward To
1. The Science of Cotton Candy
Participants will learn about the state changes of sugar and centrifugal force while making their own cotton candy. Furthermore, they can construct a simple cotton candy machine using household materials.
2. Colorful Fried Noodles Experiment
Children will engage in creating fried noodles of various colors, exploring the relationships between acidity, neutrality, alkalinity, and color change.
This event is an excellent opportunity for kids not only to have fun but also to engage in projects suitable for summer vacation research!

A Fun Approach to Scientific Thinking
At TOMAS Science Class, we aim to nurture children’s inquiry and curiosity through a problem-solving educational approach. With more than 14,000 participants to date, this popular event emphasizes experiential learning over rote memorization, reflecting the evolving focus of middle school entrance examinations.
According to Mr. Hitoshi Yano, a primary instructor at TOMAS Science Class, recent entrance exams increasingly require students to understand the reasoning behind various phenomena rather than just memorizing facts. Therefore, fostering fundamental questions through ongoing experimentation and observation is becoming crucial. He encourages families to join and help shape their children's scientific worldview in this interactive 60-minute session.
What's Different About TOMAS’s Personalized Instruction?
1. One-on-One Learning
While many tutoring centers opt for groups of two or three, TOMAS prides itself on a one-to-one approach, ensuring each instructor can focus entirely on their student’s needs.
2. Customized Curriculum for Dream Schools
Instead of aiming for just any school, TOMAS designs curricula that target one or two levels higher than average, crafting personalized plans based on students’ desired schools.
3. Careful Performance Tracking
Beyond individual instruction, each student has a dedicated academic advisor who oversees their progress and maintains communication with families to ensure they meet their goals.
