We believe that our business activities will contribute to society as well as the development of children.
Following the compulsory programming education at elementary and junior high schools in 2020, we are offering various programming education opportunities. In addition to promoting community-based education such as holding various events that parents and children can enjoy, we are also developing programming teaching materials through joint research with universities and various companies.
At the robot programming classroom "Robodan" operated by our subsidiary Youmemiru Inc., children can develop a society by holding development projects of teaching materials in collaboration with other companies, holding programming experience sessions with jointly developed contents, and developing classrooms. We are also making efforts to make people feel closer and understand how the world works. We will continue to support educational support activities in cooperation with various local governments, schools, organizations, etc. for the purpose of developing ICT human resources and promoting the region.
