about Matsuyama Minami High School

　Ehime Prefectural Matsuyama Minami High School has been designated as a Super Science High School (SSH) by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology since 2002. We have been researching and developing programs for science education in cooperation with universities and research institutes. We try to bring fascinating and inspiring science activities not only to our students but also to the local community. 　Each of our students does a great deal of individual research, and because of their strenuous effort, they have won prizes in various kinds of science fairs.

2/23/2021 Roller Coaster

   On February 23rd, we had a STEAM (Science Technology Enginnering Art Mathmatics) educational exchange with Hawaii University and Maryknoll School in Honolulu.
   Three teams from Maryknoll School and fifteen teams (one hundred and thirty-three students) joined. We designed our own roller coasters under these conditions; the base must measure 36cm×48cm, the height must be 2m at the highest point and 25 kinds of sheets of paper were available. It took us about two and a half months to complete them.    The goal was to get the bottom in the slowest possible time. Creativity and teamwork were needed. We’d like to continue having such exchanges from now.
