Digital Kodomo BASE offers free, hands-on digital experiences — from programming and AI to PC building.
Using refurbished and prepared computers, children can explore, create, and collaborate
in a free neighborhood learning space.
A facility tour reservation is required before your first visit. Feel free to get in touch!
Through our "Kodomo PC Bank" program, we collect donated PCs from companies and individuals, and distribute them to children who want to use computers but cannot afford one, as well as nonprofit organizations supporting children (such as children's cafeterias, PTAs, and safe spaces).
Before distribution, we wipe all data, install the OS, and perform basic operational checks.
One donated PC can open the door to learning for a child.
JPY 500 a month is paper and batteries for a hands-on event. JPY 30,000 is one prepared PC.
We welcome both PC donations and financial contributions.
July 4, 2026, Omori Daisan Junior High School. After a talk on AI, twelve children went home carrying a refurbished laptop of their own. This summer, 28 PCs reached children at our events; with 10 more donated to children's organizations, 10 to a disability employment support organization and 2 to a children's home, we delivered 50 refurbished PCs in 2026.
The next PC, for a child who has none.
We refurbish donated PCs one by one and deliver them together with a free learning space. Donations are our only source of funding.
JPY 30,000 delivers one refurbished PC to one child who has none.
