   We won the Prefectural Governor's Award at the Japan Student Science Award Ehime Prefecture Competition and participated in the central final examination! December 17, 2023, 19:00 Kojo Research Institute, a third-year science and mathematics student, submitted an item to the Japan Student Science Award. However, at the Ehime Prefectural Tournament, he won the Prefectural Governor's Award and was selected to participate in the  central Tournament. In addition, I was selected as a representative at the central preliminary examination (document examination) held on November 12th, and participated in the central final examination (remote) held on the 17th. For the central final examination, participants were required to submit in advance a video summarizing their enormous research results into a 5-minute presentation with about 10 slides, and after the regular examination, they had to work hard to prepare the video while preparing for the personal exam. The question-and-answer session on the 17th required a lot of patience, as rigorous answers were required regarding the investigation of previous research, the validity of the model in model experiments, understanding of theoretical formulas, and comparisons with experimental values. However, we were able to somehow answer the question based on our experimental experience and knowledge. One of the students who participated said, ``Although it was a very tough question and answer session with lots of tough questions, I was happy that they asked questions after fully understanding our research, and it was a fun time.'' I got it. This marks the end of this research group's research activities. Although this is a difficult time, I hope that you will do your best to realize your career path.

The Kojo research group was awarded the first prize in the central final screening of the Japan Student Science Award.

   Project Research As a result of the central final screening of the Japan Student Science Award, the Kojo research group was awarded the first prize. I will not forget what I learned this time and will continue to improve my skills in the future.
