Due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, international exchange programs at the secondary education level have come to a halt. International activities in the science education arena, which have become increasingly active in recent years, were also greatly affected. In the midst of this situation, this paper takes as an example Ritsumeikan High School, which has made great efforts for international science education as an SSH school. Here we analysed the achievements and challenges provided by the first online holding of the long-standing Japan Super Science Fair (JSSF). As a result, it is believed that online endeavors can unlock new possibilities and open new doors for future science education.
