Hours Co., Ltd. (Matsubara City, Osaka Prefecture), which operates Adventure World (Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture), will launch an edutainment program using the popular game “Minecraft” for high school students in Wakayama Prefecture in October 2024. It started on Thursday the 24th. Through Minecraft, high school students will create their own dream zoo while learning about the ideal environment for animals and ways to bring out their instincts. We fully incorporate ideas that are difficult in real life, which are possible only in games, and imagine and freely design a future where animals can live freely. In addition, players from the e-sports team “WIP|Wakayama Indamitable Panda” operated by Hours Co., Ltd. will also participate in the class. Through the opportunity to learn directly from professional athletes, you can experience the depth of the world of e-sports while becoming familiar with the importance of strategy and teamwork. It will be a place for new discoveries and learning for the high school students who participate. Project objectives and partnerships In addition to regional revitalization, this project aims to develop young people’s communication and strategic thinking skills. NASEF JAPAN (NPO), which has a track record of developing many group work materials using Minecraft, is a joint project with the Wakayama Prefecture Digital Society Promotion Division and Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd., with the aim of promoting STEAM education. With the cooperation of the Japan Headquarters of the International Educational E-Sports Federation Network, we will work together to design the curriculum and will also participate as a guest at the actual presentation. Through games, students are expected to develop creativity and problem-solving skills, and acquire skills that will be useful in the future. ・Wakayama Prefectural Kokawa High School e-sports club 10 people
