We have advanced to the top 4 of the national convention’s idea contest to make regions innovative in 2018.
Our high school’s second-year students, Daigo Shiraishi, Sodai Takada and Yuki Takeda studied their region, and then they were selected as the top 4 of the idea contest of policy to make regions innovative in the high school student’s category. After that, they participated in the final examination conference, which was held in the Cabinet Office Central Government Building on December 15th, 2018. As a result, they couldn’t win the top award but they won award of True Date Award. Their results were so wonderful.

Everyone came back from a three-day short trip from Kansai. On the third day, we learned two things. First, we took a special course by associate professor Takeo Yamauchi of University of Hyogo at The Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo prefecture. We learned about pests and infection, mainly about mosquitos and ticks. We gained a wonderful sense of fulfillment through observation of specimen and the specimen room. Second, in Harima science park city, we visited exhibitions about the radiation facility “Spring 8” and “SACLA”, science and chemistry laboratory, famous buildings and a solar power facility made of more 12,000 panels. We were touched by all of them. We can think about what we can do to develop sustainable society and what society and environment should be like through three days. I want to make the most of the experience for their research and their future career. (John Doe)
