- The following is content from the press release -
GZ Capital Corporation (Head office: Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture; President: Jiro Hiasa), which supports new challenges for all generations, young and old, through the Kitakyushu Innovation Center, is pleased to announce that it will open a digital school for children at REDEE Kitakyushu Innovation Center (REDEE), the largest digital complex in Japan, (Head office: Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, President: Jiro Hiasa) will open a digital school for preschoolers at REDEE Kitakyushu Innovation Center, the largest digital complex in Japan, from April 2024.
REDEE is a unique digital school where children can continue to learn for up to 12 years, developing their curiosity and imagination through twice-monthly classes plus self-study. From toddlers to junior high school students, each child can be exposed to digital learning in a way that suits them. Thanks to the support of our customers, the number of participants in our hands-on programming sessions for elementary and junior high school students has exceeded 1,200, creating opportunities for many children, both within and outside the city, to learn about digital technology.
Curriculum to nurture various abilities in young children
A 40-minute digital school (10 minutes for "Learning Time" and 30 minutes for "Building Time") will be held using the LEGO DUPLO, a product for young children that is very popular among children.
Duplo means "double," and each of its width, depth, and height is twice that of a regular LEGO brick. The size makes it easy for even small children, who do not have the strength to use their fingertips as much as they would like, to grip, prevent accidental ingestion, and play safely.
"Learning Time."
Using drills and other activities, students will acquire basic learning skills such as reading and writing. They can increase their knowledge each time while feeling the fun of learning with others. Much of the motivation for children to engage in something is the experience of success. By having many successful experiences with learning from an early age, they can eliminate resistance to learning and be best prepared for the future.
"Freshly assembled hours."
The program develops imagination and logical thinking, and also fosters social and cooperative skills through group work. Utilizing LEGO DUPLO, which incorporates educational elements into the familiar LEGO bricks, children work together in groups to communicate and solve problems.
Blocks are learning content that children can enjoy and develop various abilities such as concentration and thinking skills as an extension of play. Children can develop their creativity and imagination by thinking and building on their own, and they can also acquire spatial awareness to perceive things three-dimensionally in their minds. In addition, by engaging in these activities from an early age, the cerebrum, which is in charge of functions such as movement, language, and memory, can be activated.
Free Trial Session for Toddlers
To celebrate the opening of the school in April 2024, a free trial session for infants will be held from Wednesday, February 28, 2012. A new area mat has been installed to provide a new children's space where many children can learn and families can safely watch over them. The open space sparks children's imagination and curiosity. At REDEE, we encourage children to express themselves and to solve problems at an early age, which will help them in their future endeavors. I want to do more! REDEE provides a curriculum that inspires children to ask themselves, "What if I do this? Please come to our free trial session for toddlers to learn new skills while having fun at the same time!

Go to a digital school for 12 years for kindergarten through junior high school students.
REDEE will be transformed into a 12-year digital school with the addition of a digital school for toddlers, in addition to the existing digital school for elementary and middle school students. The digital school for infants and toddlers aims to nurture imagination and curiosity, and to encourage interest in a variety of things. The digital school for elementary and junior high school students aims to develop "programming thinking," the ability to think logically and in sequence, through programming classes using games. Many students, especially junior high school students, learn to use programming to create works of art outside of class to broaden their more practical future. No matter when you join Digital School, you can start with the "Standard Course," which allows you to learn from scratch, and move on to the "Expert Course" to further improve your skills whenever you like. You can move on to the "Expert Course" to further improve your skills at any time you like.
As a solution to the social problem of the shortage of IT personnel facing Japan, REDEE offers digital education to the children who will be responsible for the future. We hope you will take advantage of REDEE's digital school, which now accepts a wider range of ages than ever before.
