Ideas for exhibits recommended for school culture festivals. Film screenings, too.

A slot machine that moves with twine and stops with a magnet

[Craft] Moves with twine, stops with magnets. How to make a slot machine and how it works explained.

One of the classic casino games is the slot machine.

You can find them in many arcades, too.

If there were a slot machine at a school festival, people would probably think, “I want to try it!” It’s known for its spinning reels, but it seems difficult to make one yourself, right? Actually, you can build one using craft paper, twine, and a hot glue gun.

You can probably get everything at a 100-yen shop.

The reels are powered by the twine.

Playing with a slot machine is fun, but a handmade slot machine would likely spark even more excitement.

Large stationery exhibition

You might be thinking of various types of exhibition plans like calligraphy, trick art, or photo frames, but if you want to make an unconventional choice, consider a large-scale stationery exhibition.

Create enlarged objects of everyday or well-known stationery items.

It’s also fun to design them so people can wear or interact with them.

Even without being flashy, the impact is tremendous! Visitors can enjoy taking photos, and the images are sure to stand out on social media.

Give a grand stationery exhibition a try!

Spot the difference video

[Brain Training] Spot the Difference Video 25 with Changing Photos (Aha Movie)

How about filming a spot-the-difference video like the ones you see on quiz shows? A movie where the image gradually changes is also great for brain training.

It can be enjoyed by all ages, so it’s perfect for class exhibits at school festivals! You can make this type of video without dedicated editing software—try using Photoshop, for example.

By subtly changing parts of the school building, classrooms, facilities, or people, you can let visitors experience a spot-the-difference challenge.

Chalkboard animation

Stop motion with a chalkboard!

It’s a clear, easy-to-understand animation where the letters and drawings on a blackboard start to move.

Incorporating the blackboard used in everyday classes into the piece adds a sense of familiarity to the video, which is a nice touch.

It’s an animation made with stop-motion techniques, requiring patience to photograph and then shift the drawings little by little.

To add dynamism to the blackboard drawings, be mindful of zooming in and out during shooting.

It’s fine to have movement only within the blackboard, but since you’re using photographs, you can also create effects where the drawings seem to leap off the blackboard.

[How to Make AI Videos] How do you create live-action AI adaptations of anime? How to make AI videos that go viral on social media and monetize them

AI has been increasingly used in a variety of contexts in recent years.

The technology has advanced remarkably and holds limitless possibilities.

How about creating your own original videos using AI? Many people might think it sounds difficult, but once you get the hang of the apps, it’s surprisingly easy.

You don’t need sets, costumes, or filming—being able to complete everything at low cost with just a computer or smartphone is a big plus! With AI, you can freely create high-quality, cinematic effects and worlds that are hard to achieve in real life.

Mastering AI could also become a valuable skill for the future.

Give it a try!

Plarail

[Autonomous Driving] Running Plarail at the School Culture Festival! Build and Exhibit Report Video [Arduino Again]

N scale trains have surprising depth even as a hobby for adults.

You often see TV programs showcasing scenes where an entire room is covered in track.

If you’re thinking, “That’s a bit pricey for my budget…,” why not try building a town with Plarail instead? You could recreate a station building with paper or plastic sheets, or use cardboard boxes to reproduce the station front and city streets—the possibilities for creative ideas are endless.

If you can gather unused Plarail pieces from volunteers, you might be able to connect a track that’s bigger than you expected.

Let’s make it an exhibit that everyone will enjoy!

Atsuhiko Nakata-style YouTube University video

[Complete Guide to the Autumn Political Situation] Takaichi as the new party president and the Komeito split! The battle to be kingmaker, the Democratic Party for the People’s confusion, and what’s the real intent behind a coalition with Ishin? A thorough analysis of six swirling mysteries!

Let’s try creating a short video using a whiteboard in the style of Atsuhiko Nakata! If you’re screening it at a school festival, how about choosing themes like regular class content, elective subjects, festival highlights, or the school’s history? By writing on a whiteboard and adding an element of entertainment, even boring explanations are sure to become much more fun! Using captions effectively and adding images in a picture-in-picture (wipe) can make the video far more engaging for viewers.
