８月24日の午後、本校で物質・材料研究機構NIMS（ニムス）と連携したサイエンス研修：フロンティアマテリアルサイエンスFMS研修を実施しました！NIMSは材料分野の研究を世界的にリードする研究者らが集まる国の研究機関です。１・２・３年生の興味を持った生徒42名に加えて、卒業生で材料分野に進学した大学生２名も参加し、積極的に研究者の方々と交流していました。
最先端のさまざまな研究施設をオンラインで訪問でき、超伝導物質を用いた科学実験も実施しました。今回参加した大学生の１名も、本校の関東研修に参加したことをきっかけにNIMSに興味を持ち、研究の道を志しています。
大学受験の目的でもある「学びの一歩先」を西条高校で体験できる貴重な研修参加となりました。

On the first day, students were separated into two groups and did the field work after a lecture. A team collected information of the region and geography by using GPS. B team collected organisms. On the second day, A team made a map based on the information collected the day before, and B team made the biological specimen in the morning. In the afternoon, students invited people from the community and presented them the results of the two days. It was a very valuable opportunity to understand the region, while contacting with university researchers.
