Experience it together with "Ao-sensei" in an online live event♪

Akegata Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koji Sawada), which operates the new "learning and growth" platform "Nekodama," will hold an online event for elementary and junior high students during their spring break. On Saturday, April 4th, from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM, "Ao-sensei," who loves science, will host a live broadcast from the online event venue "Nekodama Magical Science Town" featuring "Easy Magic with Baking Soda and Vinegar." This online interaction will allow children to "play and learn" through magic, including tricks they can do on the spot and lessons they can take home to try later, as well as the opportunity to ask "Ao-sensei" questions directly. We provide opportunities for "learning and growth" that stimulate children's interests and desires to "try things out."

Background of the Event

This event is planned and held with the hope that it will serve as a catalyst for elementary and junior high students to experience their own unique "learning and growth" during spring break. We aim to help the "immeasurable power" inherent in children shine, and this event is part of our initiative to open up the future for children and society, based on the belief that "Anyone, anytime, anything—you can become anything!"

The online event has a capacity of about 10 groups (parents and children are welcome to participate; free of charge), but it will also be available to experience later through video content and other means in "Nekodama Magical Science Town"*.

"Nekodama" also features many other "virtual towns" and "mixed towns" online, created by various organizations such as local governments, companies, museums, and NPOs across the country, as well as individuals. As a constantly growing "808 Towns" (Yaohachicho) filled with various content beyond just videos, we will continue to expand and accumulate a wide variety of content and events while connecting elementary and junior high students across the country with local adults (local governments, companies, organizations, etc.).
