## Project Overview
Educational Design Inc. (Representative Director: Shintaro Wakita) has partnered with Digital Pure Recycle Inc. (Kankyo no Mikata Group, Representative Director: Toshikazu Masuda) to offer high-quality refurbished personal computers at a special price as a benefit for Digitane members.
This initiative aims to remove barriers such as "not having a computer for children to learn AI or programming" or "concerns about the specifications of their current computer," thereby creating an environment where everyone can confidently start learning AI and programming.
## Background of Providing Refurbished PCs
The background of this project lies in the "home terminal environment gap," a new challenge arising after the GIGA School Concept.
- **Challenge 1: Home Use Restrictions**
While the GIGA School Concept realized the provision of one device per child, many devices have restrictions on taking them home and usage limitations (filtering, etc.), making them often unsuitable for free creative activities or computer-based learning at home.
- **Challenge 2: Shortage of "Children's PCs"**
Although PC ownership rates per household are high, parents' PCs often contain work data, and sharing expensive devices poses psychological hurdles due to the risk of damage. A survey conducted by Digitane also revealed that not many households have "dedicated devices that children can use freely."
- **Challenge 3: Parents' worry of "which one to buy"**
User interviews conducted by Digitane showed that many parents expressed concerns such as "I want to start learning AI and programming, but expensive new PCs are a high hurdle," and "I'm afraid that too cheap a PC might have insufficient specifications." Thus, hardware preparation has become a bottleneck for starting learning.
## PCs with Optimal Specifications for Learning at Affordable Prices
To solve the above challenges, we have partnered with Digital Pure Recycle, which operates a refurbished PC business for corporations, to sell PCs that meet the following criteria at affordable prices.
- **1. Sufficient specifications for AI and programming learning**
We offer PCs that meet Digitane's recommended specifications, eliminating the need for parents to wonder "which one to buy."
- **2. High-quality and reliable PCs**
The PCs provided are durable, high-quality machines originally used by corporations, regenerated by specialized companies through data erasure, cleaning, and inspection. We offer high-quality refurbished PCs based on the reliability of Kankyo no Mikata Group, a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
- **3. Economical for households and environmentally friendly**
In addition to being overwhelmingly cheaper than new products, utilizing refurbished items contributes to SDGs (reducing environmental burden) and leads to solving social issues.
## Exclusive Benefits for Digitane Members
Digitane members can purchase PCs at a special price via a dedicated purchase site. This initiative supports households starting AI and programming learning or considering purchasing a PC for their children.
