At Chiba University's Advanced Science Center, the 26th Science Contest is a contest that uses physics and mathematics to clarify questions such as "What kind of waves occur on a water planet?" and "How many pillars are needed for a strong house?" to be held.We are looking for participants until June 6th (Sun) for middle and high school students.

 When Japanese science and technology aims to make further leaps in the future, it will be necessary to contribute to the world with original ideas.In addition, we must contribute to solving new problems surrounding the earth and human beings, such as environmental problems.At that time, there was an urgent need to foster young people with scientific thinking skills based on a background in physics and mathematics. Currently, Japan's primary and secondary education system is one of the best in the world, but it is unique. It cannot be said that the education that nurtures the ability to think clearly and makes the best use of it is not necessarily sufficient.

 Therefore, Chiba University's Advanced Science Center is holding a "mathematical science contest" to discover and nurture the talent of young people who will be at the forefront of science and technology not only in Japan but around the world.This is the 26th time. In 2023, in addition to the “Problem Section Face-to-Face/Remote” and “Robot Section Face-to-Face”, which will be held face-to-face for the first time in four years, the “Artificial Intelligence Section (Remote)” will be held for the first time this time. In the "artificial intelligence" section, we will classify and analyze data using the Wolfram Language, which can easily use a wealth of machine learning functions, and discuss the results.

 Individuals or groups (up to 26 people) can participate in the 3th Science Competition.The details of the implementation method will be announced in the participation form that will be mailed after the application for participation.Those who wish to participate must fill in the necessary information on the dedicated web application form and apply by June 6 (Sun).Face-to-face meetings will be held at Chiba University Nishi-Chiba Campus General School Building No. 11, and remote meetings will be held at the participants' homes.The number of recruits is 4 (face-to-face) and 100 (remote) for the task section.Robot category (face-to-face) 50 people, artificial intelligence category (remote) 20 people.First-come, first-served basis.

The dates for each division are as follows.
[Assignment section (face-to-face and remote)] July 2023, 7 (Monday / holiday) 17: 10-00: 16
【ロボットの部(対面開催)】2023年7月16日(日)10:00~16:00、2023年7月17日(月・祝)10:00~16:00 ※両日参加。
[Artificial Intelligence (remote event)] Sunday, August 2023, 8 27:10-00:16

 The Advanced Science Center of Chiba University, which hosts the competition, established in 1997 to implement and operate the Advanced Science Program, an early admission system aimed at nurturing internationally active researchers and scientists. established institution. The "advanced science program" not only conducts early entrance examinations, but also provides education for students who enter universities through early entrance until they graduate from university.
