Elementary school students have created a "My Timeline" using a tablet!

While tablet terminals are located at each elementary school under the GIGA School concept, disaster prevention classes were conducted to make the most of the environment.

As part of a hands-on disaster prevention classroom (*1) in which the ward office and fire department cooperate with the ward office and fire department for third-year students at Bairin Elementary School, Sugita Elementary School, and sixth-year students at Byobugaura Elementary School.

Yokohama City evacuation navigator can also be used from smartphones. We hope that elementary school students who have taken the class will spread the learning in class to each family, etc., which will lead to improvements in disaster prevention and solidarity of the entire region.
