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.

about SSH

 The SSH project was started in 2002 as part of the "Scientific Literacy Enhancement Initiative" by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. It aims to develop student abilities and develop global leaders with great ambitions in the field of science. And technology. As of 2021, there are 218 high schools designated as SSH, including ours.

Kansai Training

2023年2月23日 10時45分

 For 3 days from December 6th, 40 science and mathematics students took part in the event "Kansai Training."  We did our best towards these fulfilling activities: 


Attend a Seminar at the Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo 

Communicate using Lego SPIKE at Hyogo Prefectural Kahogawa Higashi High School 

Communicate with alumni over Zoom.


The most interesting part of the day was the visit to Kakogana Higashi High School. The students at that school were also science and mathematics students, just like us, so we were able to discuss our respective research on the same wavelength, giving us hints for our own research, and a boost to our motivation.



On the second day of the training, we went to Osaka.

Specifically, the Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka University, and the Bio-history Research Hall at the Osaka Science Museum.


At the research facility, we were able to observe the latest technology of Japan. Also, because we were able to get a closer-than-usual look at the university's facilities, we were able to see a place we often go to in a new light.



On The third day,  we're a little sad to think that today is the last day, but we'll do our best to make the most of it, and learn a lot. 


Bando Kobe Science Museum

"SPring 8"(Super Photon ring @ 8 GeV) and "SACLA" (SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser) 


We were able to learn about many of Japan's latest technologies. In addition, we were able to learn about the challenges and rewards of working as a researcher from the stories of people involved in the research there.
