Programming creative human resource development 《Taisuke Fukuno Interview》
The third of the special features "Inventions Creating the Future" are software development companies JIG.We talked to Taisuke Fukuno, the founder of JP (Jiggeypy, Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture) and developed "Children's PC ICHIGOJAM".Free ideas make it the power of moving and changing society.He aims to develop creative human resources from programming and provide a place for practice.What is the source of the idea of Mr. Fukuno who has set "one day in the day"?
"Strawberry jam" conscious of "raspberry pie"
ICHIGOJAM is gaining popularity as an introductory computer dedicated to programming.With a small palm -sized computer, anyone can start programming immediately by connecting TV, keyboard and power supply.Is this a computer from a cute look?Many people think that.Although the work area and the area where programming can be written are small, Ichigojam is packed with minimal functions as a computer.
The palm -sized computer has a "raspberry pie" developed by the British Foundation, but it is necessary to prepare for installing the required OS to move.Mr. Fukuno, who thought that such a task would be a hurdle, pursued more simple operability for Ichigojam.He says the name is conscious of this raspberry pie.He was particular about the affordable price that anyone could easily get.At the same time, he also provides a place to practice programming.
Programming is to instruct the process performed by the computer in order.In iChigojam, if you understand the uppercase of the alphabet and learn the basic patterns, you can enter the computer in various ways by entering it as a command.
For example, if you enter "LED1", the attached LED (light emitting diode) light can be shin and erased with "LED0".In "LED1: Wait60: LED0", the light is turned on for 1 second and the light is turned off automatically.One of the pleasures is to repeat trial and errors so that computers carry out the behavior they envision.
Ichigojam is a child computer that features a child like a personal computer when it was born 40 years ago.Like the current personal computers, they do not have high -performance and high -capacity specifications, but children can create new inventions with free ideas and simple operations.
For example, ICHIGOJAM can send commands to external equipment and have six input and output circuit to execute instructions.By making full use of these, you can move your own robot.
"Crab Robocon" held in 3 Hokuriku cities
Starting with Fukui City in 2017, Kanazawa City in 2005, Uozu City in 2005, and in the three Hokuriku cities, a robot contest, a specialty crab, is held, a crab contest.The children move the crab -shaped robot that they have made and compete for how much they can achieve the given missions in time.
Control and operate the variety of motors that move the legs and sensors that are visuals, such as sensors that are visuals.If it doesn't work, you can fix the program on the spot and try again.From design to movement control, the children who show off the techniques of all originally created robots are serious.
The children who participated said, "It's difficult to fine -tune, but it's worthwhile," "I thought it was impossible, but I was able to succeed again. That's fun."It is full of lively.
Increase the number of friends who change society by manufacturing
"Kani Robocon", which showed excitement in three Hokuriku cities, has another.It is to develop activities in collaboration with local companies.For example, many adults are involved in daily activities, such as opening a holiday conference room as a programming class and practice.On the day of the contest, we will rush to support companies, and even children and adults will be enthusiastic.
Mr. Fukuno's activities have the desire to "increase friends who want to make things all over Japan and around the world."
Mr. Fukuno said, "There are a lot of things I want to make, and I can't create it alone. I want to try to make things from various perspectives, contribute to social issues and entertain people around the world.I want you to be a creator. "
The modern age where there are many problems that cannot be solved.Adults provide the technologies they have built up so far in a way that is easy to pick up, and the younger generation will take advantage of them and proceed to the next step.The fact that ICHIGOJAM has been invented with a focus on design, functions and prices that everyone can easily pick up, has been described to be able to take the first step to the creator smoothly.It's a matter of increasing the number of friends who change society by manufacturing.
Seeds of dissatisfaction
Mr. Fukuno, who has been from Fukui Technical College of Technology and has been working on manufacturing since he was in school.After his graduation, he launched a manufacturing company with the will to "make what he wants to make himself."Graduates from Fukui National College of Technology are also mainly promoting the programming club network (PCN), which expands the trigger of programming so that children can enjoy the problem with IT while having fun.
What is the driving force that Fukuno is constantly producing new things?
Mr. Fukuno says that creation is born from dissatisfaction and discomfort.If you are dissatisfied, you may be able to solve something by creating something.If you feel something uncomfortable, you can think about what kind of situation is ideal and create something to get closer to it.It is a waste to end up with dissatisfaction or discomfort.
For example, if you notice that "in a wheelchair is hard to go to this place", you can start making things to solve it.If the image and motivation of what you create, the way you move to the next step will change.
Because it is a world full of problems, you can pick up your favorite themes and work on it.I think so and push the children's back.
Finally, Mr. Fukuno said, "The type of dissatisfaction equal invention is not exhausted. If there is a moment when you feel dissatisfied, I want you to be lucky."
