　　At the Social co-creation Contest 2021(sponsored by the Faculty of Social co-creation,Ehime University),the third-year science and mathematics course students,”Light Interference Group”,won second prize in research,inquiry,and DS categories.
　　The research theme was”Potentialities of Iyokasuri given by comparing reactions of three kinds of cloth to the force,using the interference of laser light”(Yume Ninomiya,Wataru Katakami,Syouma Kunita,Sakura Sasaki).
　　Iyokasuri,which originated in Matsuyama City,is declining in production due to westernization of daily life.We spent two years researching only to discover the hidden potential of Iyokasuri from a physical point ofview,which is different from the previous cultural and historical points of view.
　　On the afternoon of August 3,Professor Soga of Ehime University visited the school and the award ceremony was held.We received a certificate,made of Basho Washi which developed by the Faculty of Social co-creation,Ehime University.After the award ceremony,we had a short roundtable discussion with Professor Soga to talk about the difficulties in research and our personal school life.
　　Encouraged by this result,we will do our best to make our high school life even more fulfilling.
　　We are very happy to be able to win an award for the research we have been doing.
