On Thursday, January 26th, the first-year students of our Science and Mathematics Department gave an English presentation.
Three pre-selected groups, the Ginkgo Group, Limonene Group, and Parabola Group, presented their research in a PowerPoint presentation in English.
After the presentations and Q&A session, Dr. Shengxuan Huang, a research fellow at Ehime University's Research Center for Deep Earth Dynamics, and our ALT, Mr. ADAM HIRST, gave specific advice on the content of the presentations, presentation methods and techniques. Furthermore, the Q&A session was conducted in English, and the students' proactive efforts to communicate to the best of their ability in English were seen, making for a very lively presentation session. Let's make use of this experience in our future research and presentations. ■
It was my first experience to participate in a research presentation in English, but I was able to actively participate as a listener, and I would like to carry my positive attitude forward. ( 109 TAKAOKA Ryuji )
We attended a lecture given by Yukiko Suga, representative of Rejoui on January the 20th.
She talked about the data comprehension abilities needed by high school students.
First, she said that data science is about using data to improve the accuracy of problem solving and create new value.
Second, a data scientists is a professional who creates value from the data and solves business problems.
Finally, she said that data scientists need the ability to think critically.
Listening to this lecture, I decided to train my own thinking skills on a daily basis.
That’s why I resolved to read more books than I used to. ( 105 SONEDA Kota )
On Tuesday, December 27th, we held a programing experience class for elementary-school kids at Ehime university.
Thirty-nine students from eight elementary schools in Matsuyama city participated and experienced programming using Lego Education SPIKE™ prime. Nineteen first-year students from our school supported elementary school students as teaching assistants. It was a good learning opportunity for both elementary and high school students. We would like to thank all the students who participated.
SSH Taiwan Science Exchange Training the 4th year of the Reiwa era December 26th, (Monday), we held an online session “SSH Taiwan Chemistry Exchange Training Program” with Taipei Jianguo High School, our sister school. Previously we have visited each other’s countries to conduct scientific exchanges through presentations of research projects, participating in classes, and other activities. However, we haven’t been able to visit Taiwan in recent years and online interaction continues. The event started with greetings from “Chuang Chih-Chun", the principal of Taipei Municipal Jianguo High School along with our school’s principal, Tetsuya Ikeda. This time, we each gave each other two research presentations; a presentation on local culture, and a quiz competition using KAHOOT. Although we didn’t have much time for research discussions, we still had a very meaningful time learning about each other’s research and local cultural characteristics. We’ll continue to use the online technology and interact with each other. Thank you very much, fellow students of Taiwan! ■
Impressions： I would like to learn from the Taiwanese students more because their research was at high level. ( 109 ITO Ayane )
