Science Box, a science education product launched in 1982, will cease operations on the 24th. Science Box was a toolbox for students that allowed them to build models such as cars using various components, and it helped develop scientific thinking skills through the experience of self-designing and assembling. In the past, it was so popular that science box assembly competitions were held in elementary schools. However, recently many people have expressed regret over the closure, as the official Science Box website has experienced traffic blockages due to increased access following the announcement of business closure.
