Kids Work Town Event: Experience Jobs and Learn About Money

On June 28, 2026, a unique educational event named Kids Work Town will take place at the 7th-floor event space of Mitten Fuchu. This initiative is brought to you by Pendemy, a company focusing on STEAM education in collaboration with NPO Pendemy Digital Education Lab. The event aims to teach elementary school children about the societal cycle of working, earning, and shopping through hands-on experiences.

What to Expect

The Kids Work Town event is designed to make learning engaging and fun. Children will have the opportunity to experience various jobs, earning a special currency that they can use for shopping at themed stands. The event emphasizes understanding the importance of work and money management through immersive activities.

Diverse Job Opportunities

At the venue, children can participate in a series of six diverse workshops, each lasting about 15-20 minutes. These workshops cover a range of skills including:

• - Photography: Kids will learn to take photos with an iPad against a green screen and apply professional editing techniques to enhance their pictures.
• - Broadcasting: Participants will report live from the event, honing their communication skills through interactive interviews.
• - Global Delivery Service: This workshop teaches children the flow of goods using English, making learning enjoyable and relevant in a global context.
• - Job Navigator: Here, kids can help their friends find suitable job roles, fostering their communication skills.
• - Manga Artist: Children can transform their ideas into a unique artwork, showcasing their creativity.
• - Advertising: Participants will create flyers, learning about marketing while interacting with event attendees.

These engaging activities allow kids to learn the basics of labor, compensation, and consumption within a compact, themed environment.

Unique Currency System

One of the standout features of the Kids Work Town is the use of a special currency called “Pen.” This currency can be earned through participation and is applicable for purchasing products offered at the neighboring Kids Shop Project. Here, children will find a variety of shops run by their peers who have prepared snacks and interactive games, providing a practical context for their earnings. This setup enables children to experience the joy of earning money and the excitement of spending it.
