On a personal note, I was the homeroom teacher for the first MPS activity 11 years ago. I am moved by the fact that these activities continue and are connected to the learning of current students, and that I was able to be involved in this project. Looking at the activity reports of the students, I found not only that they had fun during the activities, but also that they were a little shocked to receive such harsh opinions from companies. However, I realized that I wanted to take advantage of this experience and grow further. In this way, we feel that the learning gained through direct interaction with companies is a valuable asset for our students. I hope to continue to use your help to further enrich my learning.

We are confident that this uniform will be able to appeal our activities at international venues such as the flying car demonstration experiment in February of this year and the Paris Air Show in June. I would be happy if the uniform creates a first impression and sparks interest in the latest technology, and I feel that this uniform will become a symbol of MASC and a new step toward the future. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the high school students, Kanko, and CUP who were involved in the project.

Thank you very much to everyone who cooperated. At first, we were very surprised to hear that the completed uniform would be worn at the Paris Air Show.
Furthermore, it was announced that the selected design was from our 8th group, so to be honest, I was a little nervous, but I did a lot of trial and error to figure out how to make the outfit more memorable and stress-free for the wearers. The finished product exceeded our expectations, and I still remember the excitement I felt when I saw it in real life. Additionally, this activity reaffirmed the importance of team cooperation by thoroughly dividing roles and working efficiently. I would like to utilize this experience in my future activities and life. thank you very much.

We usually work on uniforms for companies, and this time we participated as advisors. What moved me most when I saw everyone’s presentations was how much emotion was put into them. Recently, the apparel industry has become increasingly digitalized, and AI-based design generation is progressing. However, your plans have a lot of thought that AI doesn’t have, and I think that was conveyed to MASC. Everyone’s plans brought out the wishes of MASC, and we at CUP did our best to make them come true. We have a new challenge of mass production coming up in the future, but if we have another chance, I would like to share the learnings from that process. Thank you very much.

More than 10 years have passed since MPS activities, and I was involved in them from the first to the fourth. I attended this event for the first time in a while, and when I saw the design, I had high expectations. The actual product is also very cool, with a uniform that gives you a sense of space, and I was so moved that I wanted to try it on myself. I think it was difficult to give form to MASC’s requests and the satisfaction of the wearers, but I think everyone learned a lot. I would like to conclude my greetings by wishing that the aerospace industry will continue to develop in the future and that it will attract the attention of many people at the Paris Air Show. Thank you very much for today. ◆Presentation session
