Social Contribution Activities by Fujitsu Group Companies

Websites for Kids to Experience the Joy in Learning

To convey to children respect for intellectual property and the spirit of creating things, Fujitsu FOM Limited, which provides ICT-based education, supports the virtual patent application site "Brainstorm Champion" operated by Yamanote Consulting, Inc. Also, Fujitsu Learning Media Limited, which provides human resource development services offers an internet browser for kids "Hiragana Navi" to convert Kanji (Chinese characters) into Hiragana or the alphabet, as well as to filter out harmful information. Nifty and Fujitsu also provide enjoyable educational content for children.

Supporting Career Education with Workplace Experiences and Delivered-to-the-School Classes

Supporting the Yosakoi Festival with ICT

• Fujitsu Shikoku Systems Limited

The Yosakoi Festival in Tosa, Kochi Prefecture, is one of the most popular summer festivals in Japan, with 18 thousand participants (dancers) and two million visitors over four days. Fujitsu Shikoku Systems Limited, which is based in Kochi Prefecture, and some other Fujitsu Group companies support its operation by developing and operating a Performance Management System, the "Dokoiko Service." This system is designed to resolve problems of crowding by visitors and traffic jams getting to the various event stages and areas from the standpoints of both visitors and dancers.

The "Dokoiko Service" provides real time information about crowding at the event stages and dancing spots over the internet. It enables the dancers to see where they can dance at minimum waiting time. Based on the information, they decide their route and apply for the performance so that they can dance at more stages. On the other hand, visitors can check the performance schedule on the website, and get to the stages prior to their favorite dancers' arrival. Thus, the Dokoiko System contributes to efficient operation of the Yosakoi Festival.

Fujitsu Kids Event 2010

In cooperation with the Japanese Olympiad in Informatics Committee, we held an event to interest children in technology and foster their dreams in July 2010 at our Kawasaki research and manufacturing facilities. This was the fourth such event to be held, and about 100 children selected by lottery enjoyed learning about computer mechanisms through play and games.

The event had two parts. In the first, entitled "Let's have fun learning about computers!" after trying to sort a variety of data in a group project, the children learned about the mechanism by which multiple computers process data in parallel by walking around a picture painted on the ground. In the second part, "Let's find Fujitsu technology!" the children visited "Fujitsu Technology Hall," where many products such as supercomputers and their applications, self checkout systems, and undersea cables are displayed, and learned how the mechanisms they had studied are used in actual products.
