Forty-eight junior high and high school students from across Asia got together in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, to attend a one-week science summer school earlier this month.

The second annual gathering, dubbed the International School of Science Summer School 2016, is a weeklong program in which students learn science together in English at Yokosuka Research Park, a special zone the city established to attract technology research and development centers.

The organizer, the International School of Science Founding Project, dubbed ¡°ISSJ,¡± is aiming to establish an international science school by 2020.
