On Friday, November 12, 2021, an online seminar entitled "How to Prepare for a Communicative Research Presentation - How to Put Your "I want to do it! to put your "I want to!" into words.

A postdoctoral researcher working at an overseas research institute taught teachers who teach middle and high school students who prepare applications and research presentations for Science Castle research grants and other funding on a daily basis the key points they can teach their students to be able to "communicate their research to others in an understandable way". In the latter half of the seminar, a live demonstration of how professional researchers actually create slides was given.

• The presentation presentation was not established as a school program and relied on the guidance and study of each faculty member, and there was a lot of content that other faculty members would like to know
• Felt it would be a positive addition to teaching students doing exploratory activities
