Go SOZO Tokyo 2020 Spring presented by SAMSUNG SSD ('Go SOZO') was held on 11 February (national holiday) at Ikebukuro Sunshine City Exhibition Hall A1, Tokyo Go SOZO "broadens children's interests and future possibilities". experience-based event. The event, which was first held in Roppongi in September last year, made a comeback on a larger scale. Many parents and children gathered at the venue to enjoy a variety of technology-based activities and presentations of their own programming and creations, all of which they would not normally have the chance to experience. Here is a report on how the event was filled with enthusiasm.
More than 35 hands-on activities to stimulate your curiosity and senses
The main characters of Go SOZO are children. If there is something they are interested in or want to do, they can challenge it to the fullest, which is the best part of this event. More than 35 activities in 7 categories such as programming, robotics, games, quizzes, and work experience will take children to the unknown world. It is a rule at Go SOZO that children apply for each activity by themselves, not by their parents. Respecting children's autonomy and willingness to try is the first step in expanding their potential.
To avoid confusion, visitors were divided into three time zones to enter the venue. The entrance area was crowded with many people even before the doors opened.
As programming will become a compulsory subject in elementary schools this year, there was also a hands-on programming workshop where you could learn while having fun.
Activities with drones and advanced educational robots are especially popular with boys!
We stimulate children's senses not only with digital tools, but also with experiences that use all five senses, such as sessions with professional musicians.
