Tokyo Children's Homepage: New Nationwide Course for Typing Race
The Tokyo Children’s Homepage has become a treasured online space for kids, allowing them to engage with the charm of Tokyo and gain a deeper understanding of municipal policies. This initiative involved children in its development process, creating a unique platform designed specifically for their enjoyment and education.
Last year, this fantastic website achieved an impressive milestone by surpassing
100 million page views. On average, around
70,000 young users visit the site daily, reflecting its growing significance in the educational landscape for children in Tokyo.
One of the standout features of the Tokyo Children's Homepage is the
Tokyo Kids Typing Race, which has recently been upgraded to include a new
Nationwide Course. This exciting update is now available, allowing elementary school students from all over Japan to test their typing skills using words relating to various attractions found throughout the country.
The Nationwide Course
The new
Nationwide Course presents a selection of words curated from
6,626 submissions made by children across Japan between March 28 and June 13 this year. Participants can expect to see familiar names of famous landmarks such as
Mount Fuji and
Lake Biwa, along with traditional dishes like
wanko soba and
Akashi-yaki. This initiative not only offers a fun way to improve typing but also helps children learn about and appreciate Japan's diverse cultural heritage and geography.
The introduction of this course is a part of the broader efforts of the
2050 Tokyo Strategy, specifically targeting the inclusion of children’s viewpoints in policy-making. Under this strategic framework, one of the primary objectives is to promote policies that cater to children's needs and perspectives.
By allowing kids to engage in a friendly typing competition that highlights the fascination of different regions, the Tokyo Kids Homepage fosters both learning and enjoyment. The more children understand their country, the better equipped they will become to contribute positively to society in the future.
