High school parents are signing their kids up for tech classes
By Ted Tanaka on September 11, 2015
Love it or hate it, the name of the new game is Tech.
Looking forward well into the future, Japanese parents are now adding a new after-school activity to their teen’s schedule - coding and programming classes, that for many, have become synonymous to traditional jukus.
Located in Minami Azabu, the door to the future aptly named LIFE IS TECH holds boot camps for middle high and high school students to prepare them for tech jobs in the future. The medium of instruction at its open style classrooms is in Japanese but with English being the common coding and programming lingo, even foreign children have much to benefit. More than 10,000 teens have joined since it opened last year.
