- The following is content from the press release -
"Just learning is boring." Seiha Network Corporation to Open Eight Robot Programming Schools "Robodan" Starting with Older Students and Elementary School Students in April 2023.
Seiha Network Corporation (Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, CEO: Masami Sakabata, hereafter Seiha Network) has concluded a franchise agreement with Yumemiru Corporation (Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, CEO: Akinori Shigemi) of the EDION Group for the "Robodan" programming class.
The brand will be changed from "PikoLabo-kun," a programming school operated by Seiha Network, and starting with the simultaneous opening of 8 schools in the spring of 2023, we aim to open 10 Robodan schools nationwide by the end of fiscal year 2011.
With an emphasis on "making love into learning and connecting with society," Robodan provides an environment where students can acquire the skills they will need in society in the future, including logical thinking and communication skills, through its independently developed textbooks and curriculum and class content based on programming techniques that are found in our everyday surroundings. In addition, we are working with companies and organizations such as JAXA, Kinki Nippon Railway, and Epson to develop educational materials and other projects that will help children become more familiar with society and understand how the world works.
With the conclusion of the franchise agreement with Robodan, Seiha Network will offer lessons that expand the future options for more children using programming with robots, which was not part of the curriculum until now, and contribute to building the future society that children dream of.
