(Headquarters: Osaka; President: Hidekuni Kuroda) will hold a special hands-on event, "Elementary School Debut Experience Day," on Saturday, January 20, 2024, for parents and children of new first grade elementary school students.
1. event concept
KOKUYO has long supported parents and children at the "gateway to learning" through a variety of products for elementary school students, including notebooks and school bags, etc. The IoT stationery "Shukui Yuuki Pen" launched in 2019 focuses on "parent-child communication" in home learning and has been widely acclaimed as a service that fosters children's "motivation" by creating a virtuous cycle of "writing ⇔ praise". The service has been highly evaluated from various fields as a service that nurtures children's "motivation" by turning the virtuous cycle of "writing" and "praising" around.
In the course of developing this "Shukui Motivation Pen," we have developed a growing circle of connections with companies that share our belief in the "ideal of home study in which parents and children learn together. At this event, these companies gathered to present the know-how they have cultivated over the years that can be utilized in daily "home study. We will help children in the first year of elementary school (2024 school year), who are both excited and anxious about life in elementary school, move forward to a new stage with confidence. There will be plenty of experiences for them to enjoy and learn the basics of learning such as "letters" and "numbers" as well as daily habits such as "greetings" and "getting ready for school".
