Exhibition Content
Promotion of STEAM Education
[Target Audience]
For those who face challenges such as "not wanting to end programming as just skill acquisition" or "unable to find a learning environment where children can immerse themselves naturally."
[Exhibition Content]
Through our proprietary programming development tools and a rich variety of content such as self-made quizzes and performances, we provide an innovative environment that draws out creativity and problem-solving skills.
Contribution to Special Needs Education
[Target Audience]
For those who face challenges such as "taking time to put their feelings into words."
[Exhibition Content]
Real-time captioning of conversations with the AI. Children can practice speaking at their own pace while visually capturing words, and because they are interacting with a robot, they can build confidence without the fear of making mistakes.
Promotion of Multilingual Communication Education

For those who face challenges such as "being afraid of making mistakes and unable to speak words they already know."
[Exhibition Content]
Through communication with a friendly, fun, and cute robot, we gently support multilingual learning.
