The University of Fukui launched the STELLA Program in 2024 as an inquiry-based program for students from fifth to ninth grade. The program consists of two stages. In the first stage, students take courses and conduct independent research for one year. In the second stage, they continue taking courses while conducting research on specific topics under the guidance of university faculty and experts. Advancement to the second stage is determined based on the results of the independent research. This presentation will report on the findings of the independent research conducted by students who completed the program, as well as the themes explored in the second stage.
