Japan: Contributing to the development of next-generation human resources through a digital education app
Independent, Interactive, Deep Learning
Epson Sales Japan and Uni-Ty Inc. have jointly developed an app for students that contributes to the development of digital human resources. We believe this app is an effective means for improving lessons, aligning with the guidelines of Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to cultivate qualities and abilities through independent, interactive, and deep learning.

Message from a Partner

Children are full of ideas. We developed Programapping in collaboration with Epson Sales Japan to give children an avenue to tap into those ideas and create original projection mapping content by combining programming thinking with expression and production activities.
I feel that the user-friendly interface and design, insights into which were gained in the development of education apps in our Play & Learn! series, have helped Programapping win over children.
