[High School Student from AI Model School to Speak] Ryo Sato of Seifukan High School to Propose Next-Gen Learning at Online Seminar for Educators on June 14

Mr. Sato has led a project for over a year to develop a '3D Metaverse School' built by students themselves, earning an award in the regional block of the National Information Education Contest. At this event, he will propose the future of learning opened up by generative AI from the perspective of both a student and a developer.

■ Background: Bridging the Gap Between Adult Visions and AI-Native Realities
Seifukan High School actively integrates generative AI into its learning process as one of the few 'AI Advanced Model Schools' in Japan. In this environment, Mr. Sato led the development of the 3D Metaverse School to address the lack of 'presence' in online education, enabling spontaneous interactions via avatars.

Through this project, Mr. Sato identified a 'gap' between the 'future of education' designed by adults and the reality experienced by the 'AI-native generation' who use AI and the metaverse daily. Beyond the 'efficiency' imagined by adults, students are redefining their own 'place' and the 'human role' in the AI era.

In his presentation, drawing on his experiences at the University of Tokyo and the Diet Members' Office Building, he will explore a future of education that leaves no one behind, addressing both the gaps and commonalities between adult and student perspectives.
