The second Steam Lecture of this year was held at school and Professor Hideto Takeuchi, from the Meijo University Teaching Center, gave a lecture titled “Choosing a career path in the AI era ― What kind of learning can compete with AI?” He said that in the future, the world will be in an age defined by the question “How can we coexist with AI”, and since the speed of AI’s evolution will be fast, only people who have true ability will be able to survive.■
I felt like the 90-minute lecture went by too quickly, and his passion reached us students’ hearts. The lecture was meaningful.
It was very useful for me to hear Mr. Takeuchi’s lecture. Also, I figured out how we will use AI in the future and I will try my best to use it well. ( 204 MATSUMOTO Aoba, HIGASHI Soshi )
I had a hands-on experience at the Wang Ding Time Science and Art Experience Hall and Ya Dong University of Science and Technology.
I gave a presentation on Sound Power Generation with Plastic Parabolas and Resonance Tubes at an international forum and had a lot of fun interacting with people from different countries.
At New Taipei Municipal Yingee Vocational High School, I participated in Japanese language classes and learned about ceramics. I was able to make friends with the students who were not so familiar with each other and interacted with them a lot. My host family was very kind to me and I was able to spend a fulfilling week in Taiwan.
I feel that spending a week long time in Taiwan was a great experience. It was very difficult to deliver a 10-minute presentation in front of presenters from various countries, and I realized how poor my English skills were. However, I gradually became able to communicate in English, and I think I have grown as a result.
The Taiwanese people were really kind to us and we became such good friends that we still keep in touch with them. I miss them very much. ( 209 Rua HONDA )
We held an international joint research meeting with Waipahu High School.
October 21st, 2023
An international joint research meeting was held online on October 21st.
This research project started in 2021 and is an ongoing activity in collaboration with Waipahu High School in Hawaii, Uwajima Higashi High School, and Saijo High School, with the theme of comparing the water environments of Ehime and Hawaii.
Currently, our school's biology department is taking the lead in researching a water circulation system that uses ginkgo charcoal to create a simple plastic bottle filter.■
It was our first time to present our research results in English, so we were very nervous, but with the help of our teachers we were able to do it. (108 Tanimoto Mitsuki, Haga Tsuyoshi)
We have started to make diorama of Matsuyama castle by 3D printer because we were made a request by Matsuyama City Industry and Economic Department. Five students who belong to the physics club will join this project as members. In the evening of the 22nd, the person in charge came to explain this project and exchanged opinions actively.

Mr. Kunimatsu talked in detail about the topic of endocrine disruption from its mechanism to the problems of environmental pollution. The content was very interesting.
Lastly, I visited es-Bank. It has been keeping biological samples collected from all over the world for 50 years, and researchers make good use of them for various studies. The biological samples are kept at 25℃ in a refrigerated warehouse. In the warehouse, we can see the sea turtles, dolphins and penguins that are preserved there. (109 KOIKE Nonoka)
