Development Background
Pokémon Pad Pic-a-Pad Academy," released in March 2019, is an educational pad that incorporates STEAM education, which was beginning to attract attention at the time, and was well received as a product that could prepare children for entering school "in the modern age. Two years later, with the introduction of mandatory programming, the expansion of telecommuting, and the spread of online classes, more and more children are becoming interested in typing and computers themselves.

This product has been stepped up to a product that allows children, even those who have not yet entered elementary school, to think, create, and practice through play by installing a keyboard for typing to support computer skill improvement and by enhancing the learning mechanism, menu, and questions to make it easier to learn. The goal is to create products that allow children to acquire the skills that will be required of them in the future while incorporating play into their learning.
