 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.

the Robot Idea Koushien Shikoku Tournament

2023年1月24日 16時37分

   Hikaru Shiraishi, a second-year student in the Department of Science and Mathematics at our school, represented Ehime Prefecture in the Robot Idea Koushien Shikoku Tournament held on Saturday, October 29th, at e-Topia Kagawa in Takamatsu. As an idea for a new way to use industrial robots, she proposed and presented "Ryosuke," a fully automatic fishing boat using a robot arm. The judges commented, "It was good that the robot considered not only production but also environmental conservation," and "The robot took the usage environment into account when considering materials and processing." Unfortunately, the result was not enough to qualify for the national competition, but there were many things, such as the presentation method, that will be helpful in the future.
   I learned the importance of advance preparation when I participated in the Robot Idea Koshien.
   Advance preparation gives you more time to repare for the actual presentation.   I felt that this is where the winners and losers were decided.( 209  Shiraishi Hikaru )
