Social Background and Objectives
Educational Use of e-Sports
PR TIMES
Currently, the e-sports market in Japan is growing rapidly. As a result, games are now being used in the field of education, and are attracting attention as a tool for fostering children’s desire to learn and creativity, rather than just for entertainment. This event aims to use the popular puzzle game “Watermelon Game” to help children deepen their knowledge of food while having fun and learning, and to promote better eating habits in the home.
Fostering creativity and creative skills through the use of AI technology
According to a report titled “Signs of Workflow Reform Using Generated AI” published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in November 2023, the market size of AI technology is expanding every year and is expected to exceed approximately 14 trillion yen by 2030. Therefore, AI-based digital creative skills will be in demand in many industries in the future, and educational efforts to expose children to AI technologies are socially and economically significant. This event will foster children’s creativity and creative skills through the use of simple AI generation tools.
Low Fruit Intake among Young Adults
PR TIMES
According to the “2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey” by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the average daily fruit intake of Japanese people is only 98.9g, less than half of the 200g recommended in the “Dietary Balance Guide. The younger the generation, the lower the frequency of fruit consumption. Although fruits have been shown to have a high preventive effect against lifestyle-related diseases, the average level of fruit intake remains low. This event will provide an opportunity to learn about the nutrients in fruits through the popular puzzle game “Watermelon Game” and a nutrition education quiz rally.
