Developer profile
Dr. Kaga, Yoshitaka
When I was in kindergarten and elementary school, I would take apart moving toys who want to know the functions. (Unfortunately, the disassembled toys were never completely reassembled to their original state. But my parents did not care.) When I was in middle school, my hobbies were amateur radio, astrophotography, and electronic work, and I think I prioritized experience over theory. I really liked to touch and learn how it works. I believe that learning about systems as a hobby since I was a child ultimately led me to earn a degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology.
Today's STEM materials are sophisticated, require less effort to learn, and are adjusted to a level of difficulty that makes it seem easy to achieve goals. That's why I created a guide that has many mysteries and is difficult to achieve right away, but that allows children to get excited about thinking about movement and mechanics.
In other words, I created the guide I wanted when I was a kid.
What is the subject of the guide?
I created a guide on the subject of developing cultivation systems. The background to this is research into technology for self-sufficiency in food, which is necessary for activities in space. For example, there is technology for growing vegetables inside spaceships and stations. Of course, this research is progressing and is not yet complete. Continued research on how to grow vegetables outside of Earth is required. Another reason is that I also like growing plants. After watching the guide, you'll do your own research, learn how to use tools, and develop the hardware and software for your cultivation system. The vegetable you will grow is strawberries. Grow strawberry plants from seeds and harvest strawberries. If you harvest a lot, you can make strawberry jam, so you can learn in a fun and delicious way.
I believe that once you have this guide in hand, your eyes will shine brightly.
The Japanese martial arts concept
I will introduce the special features of this guide. The guide is based on the Japanese martial arts concept of "守・破・離". A simple interpretation of the concept of "守・破・離" is as follows.
- ・守(syu): It means the stage of reproducing according to the role model.
- ・破(ha): It means the stage of putting ideas into the role model and making it a reality.
- ・離(ri): It means the stage where novelty beyond the role model is revealed.
This guide consists of three steps. You start by reproducing it, then adding your own twist, and finally rebuilding it with your favorite attributes. Attributes are the focus of the development approach. These three steps will definitely improve your engineering sense.
Dr. Kaga got a job to an airline company(ANA) after graduating Kanagawa University. He has not only system development experience, but also a wide range of work experience, managerial positions, experience of an entrance interview examiner, experience of independent entrepreneurship, and qualification as a doctorate of social engineering. He works still active.
