Elecom will sponsor a free summer event that lets up to 1,000 elementary school students build cities in Minecraft. The event, organized by KUL and co-organized by e Stadium, runs from July 18 to August 16 at e Stadium Izumi and other venues in Osaka Prefecture. Participants will use Elecom's KEY PALETTO keyboard, a product developed over three years to be easy for children using a PC for the first time. The virtual space is modeled after the Izumi Chuo Station area, where children can build the house they want to live in the future. The event also aims to reduce gaps in digital experience and device access across regions.
