Admin’s Note

I was amazed by the invention of an 8-year-old boy. His idea for eliminating pests without using pesticides seems to reflect a growing awareness of environmental issues. This is a wonderful episode that reaffirms the importance of having dreams through independent research. I strongly felt that more support is needed to nurture children’s creativity. It was very impressive to see how parents and those around him encouraged the child’s ideas.
