A total of 11 workshops were held in Yabu City in Hyogo Prefecture to create a new foundation for the local development of digital education. Three of these workshops were held in cooperation with Yabu¡¯s elementary schools as special classes for elementary school students. This has led to a collaboration agreement being signed with Yabu on a policy to promote connections with the local educational system and to further increase the number of elementary schools introducing such special classes from 2025 onward. A science event was also held for all residents, where many came to learn about this project and get a hands-on experience using a 3D printer and other technologies. Through such activities held throughout the year, the number of participants increased as well as the number of cooperating organizations, making a significant contribution to laying the groundwork for the formation of a collaborative educational environment within the community.
