■Start background In Japan, programming education will be compulsory in elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools from 2020 to 2022, and as technological innovations such as digitalization, AI, IoT, and cloud progress, the shortage of human resources in the ICT field is becoming more serious. . With the demand for engineers rapidly increasing, there is an urgent need to create an educational environment where children, who will lead the next generation, can come into contact with IT technology. ALUX’s products are widely used in countries such as South Korea, China, and the United States, and even in families where programming education is not readily available, children can learn while having fun using drones and tablet-type robots, making it possible for children to learn programming from an early age. It has been recognized to be effective in reducing people’s fear of learning. For Japanese children to learn ICT literacy through these materials, it will be of great help in building logical thinking skills and developing conceptual understanding, and will also lead to the development of valuable skills that can be applied to daily life. . Follow Co., Ltd. will start a business in cooperation with ALUX with the aim of contributing to the spread of programming education. ■Drone ・Coding drone

A color sensor built into the drone reads the color of the attached card, and the drone flies according to the card’s commands, allowing you to have fun while learning about operations and coding. In addition, the controller is equipped with a tilt sensor, allowing intuitive operation to move the drone in the direction you tilt it. Furthermore, by connecting the controller to a PC, it also supports block coding and text coding operations using Scratch and Python, allowing you to choose the operation method according to your learning stage. This is a teaching material that is easy to enjoy even for beginners and is perfect for educational settings and home learning. ・Coding Rider

In addition, the main body is covered with a 360-degree net, making it resistant to impact and safe enough to prevent injury even if it hits someone. By connecting to a PC, you can not only fly by coding with Scratch or Python, but also control by keyboard operation, hand signals using the PC camera, and body movements. Furthermore, since it is equipped with an anti-interference sensor, it is designed to allow stable group flight with multiple units. https://img.youtube.com/vi/s-NgGi1M3Y0/sddefault.jpg
