◆So, what kind of event is it?
Beginners are welcome, and all children can connect to one canvas at the same time and draw freely!
After you finish drawing, you can take home the result as a time-lapse video, making it a great way to create memories!
There will be an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil at the venue, so you don't need to bring anything with you! You can participate empty-handed!
Unlike typical drawing where one person draws in silence and with complete concentration, everyone draws on the same canvas at the same time, however they like. It gives the feeling that everyone is scribbling on a blackboard or whiteboard, or even a single page in a notebook, and the best part is that it provides a friendly, positive experience and memories.
It's what's known as a 'drawing chat,' but it's limited to participants at the venue, so you can doodle any illustrations you like in a safe and secure environment.
For children, it's a great point that they can experience a level one step higher than that of a tablet at school, because they can draw in a full-fledged environment of 'drawing freely with plenty of time using a liquid tablet and pen that properly detects pen pressure!'. The feeling and usability of drawing on paper are very close, so it's perfect for when you're wondering, 'My child is interested in illustrations, but what kind of thing suits them?' By touching it for a long time, the child himself will be able to clearly understand what suits him.
In addition, while the children are doodling together, parents who are bored will be given a presentation on 'Internet literacy for children, IT literacy for SNS and smartphones' to answer any concerns that you have written in advance in the application form as part of the Q&A session. From the perspective of someone who has been teaching creativity and IT to elementary, junior high and high school students for over 20 years, he will give real-life solutions and impart them to them! He will not give you nice-sounding answers like you usually do, but will give you lessons and perspectives gained from his own experiences, so it's perfect for those who say, 'When I hear a lecture on Internet literacy, the conclusion is always vague, like 'Let's teach them to treat each other with kindness,' and I have no idea what to do specifically! I'm worried because I don't know what the best thing to do is to match my child's future growth!'

Posters or flyers.
The venue, Onikuru
It is positioned as an Ibaraki City cultural and child-rearing complex. The name of the organizer of this event, 'CAPAS', is also written on the wall.
The event venue will be the public exchange space on the top 7th floor. Let's go and check it out.
Main entrance
As soon as you enter, if you look to your right, there is always some kind of event going on, and even when there aren't, it is packed with people. Elementary school students are playing outside, junior high and high school students are studying here and there, and parents and children are walking around like crazy. No matter when you go, it's incredibly lively.
It's no wonder that the museum has had 3 million visitors in just over a year. In reality, there are days when the museum is closed, so it's a pretty incredible pace.
Arrived on the 7th floor
The floor map looks like this. After getting off the elevator or escalator, go straight and then turn left.
This is what 'CAPAS' on the 7th floor usually looks like. The grassy space visible through the glass windows is the rooftop plaza.
Free 'FREE Wi-Fi' available.
Rehearsing to confirm placement.
We will have iPad Pros and Apple Pencils prepared like this, so you can join empty-handed!
We have a large screen, so on the day we will use a projector to roughly show everyone's questions and answers about internet literacy, while also showing everyone writing on it.
On the day, the editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE will be sitting in the birthday seat. Please treat him gently!
It has a scratching feel to it. You can see everyone drawing like this!
Therefore, the deadline for applications to participate in the event is 23:59 on Sunday, August 3rd.
Since the number of participants is limited, if there are a large number of applicants, participants will be selected by lottery. The results of the lottery will be sent to the email address you entered in the application form between 0:00 on Monday, August 4th and 23:59 on Tuesday, August 5th!
So, thank you for applying to participate!
