Sharing her experience, Sedevinu Sale said, “We not only filled ourselves with awe and amazement, but also got so much of inspiration and motivation by the advanced technology used there (Tokyo) as our daily life. We visited a number of prestigious world leading universities in the field of technology, medicine, astronomy etc, which encouraged us to learn more of the other technology in use as well as the other department of Science. We also visited several educational science museums.”
