GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA" started 2 kinds of explanation programs for adults! Mobile Suit Gundam: Witches of Mercury" fair is now being held!

Starting in the fall of 2022, "GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA" (hereinafter referred to as "GFY") will host an adult-oriented (*1) interpretation program for companies, organizations, and groups (*2), where the technology of "moving Gundams" will be exhibited and technical questions will be answered. The program and online backyard tours will be held for companies, organizations and groups (*1).

GFY has been conducting an educational support program for elementary and junior high school students since November 2021, in which they can learn and experience how a full-scale "moving Gundam" works, with the aim of arousing their interest in manufacturing. The program has already been implemented in 29 schools with 1,647 children participating (as of September 30, 2022).
The first program to be developed is an adult version of the popular "Educational Support" program described above.
The first program is an adult version of the popular "Educational Support" program, which will be held at the Yokohama venue for companies, organizations, and groups. The Gundam Global Challenge (hereinafter referred to as "GGC") director and other people involved in the actual production will introduce the mechanism of the "moving Gundam," project management, and development episodes.

The second is an online backyard tour for companies, organizations, and groups that can participate from anywhere.
Based on the requests received in advance, the tours will be organized to be full of originality and will be based on the backside of the "GUNDAM-DOCK" containment area, which is not normally seen, and will focus on the content of the tour.
For example, for groups of technicians and engineers, the GGC director and other people involved in the actual production of the Gundam will explain the electrical room, wires in the joints, operating sensors, and other areas of interest, while weaving in some of the secret development stories. The GGC director and other related persons involved in the actual production of the Gundam will also be on hand to explain the technology used to make the Gundam work. Of course, questions about the technology can be answered on the spot.

If there are many participants who are not familiar with robots, GGC directors who were involved in the production of the "ACADEMY" exhibit, which shows the mechanism of a "moving Gundam," will guide them through the process.

GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA" is a rare project that combines Gundam, a content that attracts a great deal of attention even from overseas, with Japanese craftsmanship and superior technology. The experience of this project may be used for training and teamwork development.

*1: Groups and organizations must have a minimum of 30 people.
*2: High school students and older are eligible.
