"Tsukuba Style" Curriculum - Broad Outline

In 2007, Tsukuba City declared that it would reduce CO2 emissions from the city 50% by 2030. As part of this effort, it developed a new eco-global curriculum, the "Tsukuba Style" curriculum. Piloted in 2011, it is now being fully implemented in grades 1 through 9 in Tsukuba's public schools.

This blogger's son is entering this curriculum in grade 7.

Robotics Tsukuba and Regional Innovation

Robotics Tsukuba is a city initiative that integrates with national and prefectural initiatives and, I think, is at the forefront nationally in promoting local innovation. Please see the Robotics Tsukuba pamphlet at http://www.slideshare.net/AlanEngel/robotics-tsukuba.
