Demonstration runs by cars participating in the 5th Student Formula SAE Competition of Japan
The Student Formula SAE competition of Japan demands students to compete in terms of overall manufacturing skills by the vehicles that are conceived, and fabricated by the students themselves. Some of the universities participating in the 5th competition will provide demonstration runs.

The Nippon Motorcycle Association (NMCA) will sponsor a “Kids Motorcycle Sports School” for elementary school children that will enable them to work outdoors together with their guardians and friends to learn about motorcycles under the guidance of expert instructors. The school emphasizes outdoor education as a means of fostering curiosity and creativity. Supported by the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and National Congress of Parents and Teachers Association of Japan, the school enjoys the guidance and cooperation of many educators and engages in a nationwide program of ongoing, community-based outdoor educational activities. NMCA first conducted a school at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show (2005) and this is the 2nd time they conduct a school at the Tokyo Motor Show. It will be held in the Central Rest Zone (west side of North Gate No. 2).
