The purpose of this paper is to describe the idea of the ME (Mathematical Enlightenment) project and its activities. The project has been carried out mainly by the staff in the Science Department of the Research Institute of Educational Development, Tokai University. We need to develop plans for students who are not aware that mathematics can be important in all aspects of life. One of reasons for overlooking the importance of mathematics is that industrial products are used by most, but designed only by using high technology, which requires understanding of mathematics. Another reason is that the experience of most people for mathematics is negative, for example. "difficult", "not interesting", "not understandable". Through the project we educate the unaware about how much mathematics is useful in our daily life. We have been making posters, which show the relation between manufactured products and mathematics. By observing those posters, students as wellas adults will raise questions "How does it work? " and "Why is it safe? ", which promote the interests in mathematics and encourage people to accept the importanceof mathematics.
