Digital Citizens Mentorship

Since our last report we have distributed over 70 computers, and we have expanded to more homes. 

At this point we have distributed 450 computers to over 10 homes. It is not simply a physical donation, but it is also our volunteers and staff continuously visiting the homes to teach digital, and language skills. We know that this continuous support is so important for the kids.

We have also expanded our efforts to provide education as it pretains to children in need becoming digital citizens. We have done this by offering our computer language lession sessions to more and more homes. (Ichigo Jam, Scratch, Sphero Bolt, and more)

For language classes we are working with NightZookeeper, which is now providing NZK Missions. (An easier version of the English teaching tool that has many games.) Which has helped us to engage more young students

This past month we provided volunteers, funding and support for an annual arts summer camp for disadvantaged children in Tokyo. 30 kids participated from 3 homes, and through this summer camp we introduced many of the children to the Ichigo Jam class, where they could learn basic programming language to give commands to a robotic car.

 Moving forward:

We are putting the finishing touches on a new digital citizen's curriculum which we are looking to offer in the coming few months. 

We are also beginning to offer support like career assessments to the older kids. This means gauging their interests, personality and competency, which will then determine possible career paths. We believe this is extremely valuable to help disadvantaged children focus on their future, and how they can thrive in society.
