ICT education

There is an administrative view that emphasizes the need for talent development due to projected shortages of STEM professionals to address the Fourth Industrial Revolution and globalization.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) announced new curriculum guidelines for elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools in March 2017 and March 2018. These guidelines aim to realize school education that cultivates children's abilities to adapt to technological advancements and societal changes, ensuring their skills remain applicable even as technology and the times evolve. The guidelines focus on the following key points:

• Positioning information literacy as a fundamental quality and ability for learning, on par with language proficiency.
• Considering the establishment of a school's ICT infrastructure and enhancing learning activities utilizing ICT.

In response to this, SANEI HYTECHS has launched a robotics science education program that focuses on STEM education through robot building and programming. This initiative aims not only to develop programming skills but also to foster logical thinking, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and other competencies during the elementary school stage.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution and globalization have brought about significant changes in society and daily life.
To cultivate children who can unleash their own potential and thrive amidst unpredictable changes, we, through Kicks/Crefus robotics education, foster the following qualities in children:

• Initiative: The ability to proactively engage and interact with others.
• Passion: The capacity to discover and pursue interests with enthusiasm and dedication.
• Imagination: The power to generate new ideas and concepts with creativity.
• Problem-solving: The skill to approach new challenges logically and persistently without giving up.
• Communication: The ability to express one's thoughts, empathize with others' perspectives, and collaborate effectively.

However, we will provide an environment where both parents and children can tangibly experience the best future that lies beyond their enthusiasm. From a sense of personal growth to a sense of awareness of the world, we believe in creating an environment where children can feel excited about their future, unlike traditional cram schools or extracurricular activities.
With Kicks/Crefus, we can deliver a world that expands beyond their passions.

We employ the following highly effective methods to ensure young children can enjoy acquiring "Programming Thinking."

• Assemble a model using the LEGO® Education kit.
• Connect commands (programs) on a tablet to make the model move.
• Experience the sense of accomplishment as their operations are reflected in the model's movement.

This visual and intuitive learning process is the most effective approach for young children.
Through the flow of "Create → Think → Move," the following core skills are naturally developed.

Lessons are primarily conducted as group instruction led by an instructor, utilizing worksheets (textbooks) to guide learning. Concurrently, instructors provide individualized support based on each student's progress and understanding, ensuring every child achieves a moment of "I get it!"

Through this special class, older children will acquire important basic skills that will help them in the future while playing.

• Programming Thinking: The ability to assemble and execute instructions.
• Problem-Solving Skills: The experience of thinking, testing, and improving solutions independently.
• Creativity and Expressive Power: Self-expression through hands-on making (Monozukuri).
• Concentration and Sustained Engagement: Fostering the attitude to immerse in learning and persevere to completion

Since these skills are acquired naturally through play, young children can experience "future learning" without feeling burdened. The greatest benefit is the natural acquisition of a "proactive learning attitude" through engaging play.

This initiative is a key part of our policy: "Creating Social Value through Education." By providing opportunities for young children to engage with technology, we contribute to creating an environment where local children can continue to learn proactively for their future. SANEI HYTECHS will continue to support the foundation of digital literacy from the earliest stages of education, such as kindergarten, by utilizing our specialized educational content and resources (teaching materials, instructors). We are committed to fostering children's "power to think" and "power to express," thereby contributing to the development of our future society.
