Welcome to Firebird SCIENCE TEAM
Originating from our very own Seisen Big Science Day, the newly formed international experimental-science competitive team was formed to participate in international science competitions in many different categories. The main goal of the Firebird Science Team, now a fully academic club, is to give the opportunity to passionate and motivated students to pursue science to a higher level in a local and international environment.
In different teams, the students initiated their own projects in STEM fields, entering the CONRAD Innovation Challenge, Google Science Fair or the forthcoming Japan Science and Engineering Challenge (JESC). There were also other projects in the working; preliminary plans for a permanent NASA space settlement and the brand new Weather Station Program - implementing and maintaining a local meteorological station on our campus.

2016 - 2017 Projects
Conrad Innovation Challenge - an annual, multi-phase innovation and entrepreneurial competition that brings together a dynamic community of innovators and entrepreneurs driving a collaborative movement to develop extraordinary and viable solutions to benefit our world in one of four areas: aerospace & aviation, cyber technology & security, energy & environment, and health & nutrition.
All three teams, Firebird UMI - Nene Hamada (10), Yoon Ju Kim (10), Amana Fujilawa (9), Fiona Pool (9) - Energy & Environment, Firebird MEI - Youkie Shiozawa (11), Mai Morita (11), Eunseo Sung (11), Yurim Ko (11) - Health & Nutrition and Firebird SORA - Momoko Katayama (11), Ashley Doble (11), Yejie Lee (11) and Amelie Steck (11) Aerospace & Aviation qualified for the semifinals.
Firebird Mei - Health & Nutrition, and Firebird SORA - Aerospace & Aviation qualified for the final and they will attend the Conrad Innovation Summit at NASA Kennedy Space Center, Florida between April 26-29, 2017.

Google Science Fair
Karyn Nakamura (10) will be participating in the Google Science Fair with an electronics project.
Weather Station Project
This year Firebird Science Team started a new project - the Weather Station Project - sponsored by SPA having the goal to run a local weather station inside our campus. The project originated from the Seisen Experiential learning program and tries to engage the students in a career oriented activity, and giving back the weather forecasting experience to Seisen Community .
Phase 1 – 2016 - 2017 School Year
Acquisition, mounting, training and implementation of a Local Weather Station on Seisen Campus – starting forecasting weather
Phase 2 – 2017 - 2018 School Year
Creating a webpage and a smart app for iPhone, iPad and other platforms to display weather forecast daily
Phase 1 is undergoing and we expect the first forecast before the Big Science Day.

FIREBIRD 2015 - 2016
Ten girls from grade 9 to 11 were invited to think about a possible experimental-science competitive team.
This is how everything started. An unique adventure for a risk taking, open minded group of students. Originating from our very own Seisen Big Science Day, the newly formed Firebird Science Team was formed to participate in international science competitions in many different categories.
The first Firebirds:
Grade 9: Karyn Nakamura
Grade 10: Youkie Shiozawa, Mai Morita, Eunseo Sung, Miki Takahashi,
Grade 11: Momoe Anno, Nidhi Jaju, Mily Yasuda, Akari Tajima, Dong Eun Kim

The Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge brings together a dynamic community of innovators and entrepreneurs driving a collaborative movement to develop extraordinary and viable solutions to benefit our world in one of four areas: Aerospace & Aviation, Cyber Technology & Security, Energy & Environment, and Health & Nutrition.
Team Firebird - Momoe Anno (11), Nidhi Jaju (11), Mily Yasuda (11), Youkie Shiozawa (10) and Mai Morita (10), prepared an entry for the Energy & Environment category, developed their idea, submitted their 80-page portfolio, and as a result, were invited as semi-finalists to attend the summit at the Kennedy Space Center, here in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The students saw amazing projects and heard power pitches from numerous teams representing a diverse range of school, including many specialty science and engineering schools across America and sixteen different countries.
Their project NaSoPod had been selected as one of the Top 5 highest-scoring portfolios out of 42 semi-finalists in their category, Team Firebird also took the TOP PRIZE for their Power Pitch, designed to convince professionals and investors to support the further development of their product for market analysis and release.
