What's New at Kyoto NHK ESS?

Hell everyone,
This is the practice announcement on Sep. 9th.

Genre : Presentation
Title : Research Project in this summer

Did you have a good time in this summer holiday?
When you were an elementary school student, didn't you do summer holiday- homework called
research project (自由研究）!?
Did you make a money box or insect collecting?

Anyway, we have a saying "Study Lifetime"
so could you tell everybody what you learnt,
what was interested for you in this summer?
This is kind of a presentation even if it is trivial things for your 「大人の自由研究」.
Please bring your money box or insect collecting if you need!

Let's enjoy listening their research project!
