🛠 Experience 2: GKA Digitalization Committee

• Creativity & Service

• 2021/4 - Now

• What I did:

  • I established the “Digitalization Committee” and became its first leader.
    • The committee’s purpose is to develop software to improve our school life.
      • For example, we created a LINE Chat bot that provides information about the next AEON Bus departure time and a Poker tip manager bot.
  • Why I established it
    • I wanted to introduce the fun of technology and coding to other students.
      • Gunma has fewer opportunities for entering the coding world compared to Tokyo.
  • What I did
    • I laid the foundation for the committee.
    • I taught basic coding to beginner members.
  • Accomplishment
    • I participated in the Civictech Challenge Cup with 6 committee members.
      • 2021/8 - 2021/10
      • We planned and developed a prototype of software.
      • We won the 1st Prize & PRAID Prize, receiving a prize money of +610,000 yen.

• Learning Outcomes:

    • Through struggles, I discovered my own leadership style that aligns with my personality.
      • I demonstrated individual growth through the “CAS Stages.”
  • Initiative & Planning
    • I planned the establishment of the committee and successfully accomplished it.
    • GKA Digital Committee Proposal
  • Commitment & Perseverance
    • We held regular committee meetings and adapted to the school closure by continuing our activities online using Scrapbox & Zoom.
  • Collaborative Skills
    • I collaborated with 10 committee members to carry out projects as a team.
      • I delegated coding tasks to other members.
    • I also collaborated with the Student Council to establish and run the committee.
  • Global Engagement
    • I identified issues in our community and initiated activities to address them using our creativity.
    • I connected with global “Civic-Tech” activities.

      • Civictech: A term for activities by citizens that use technology to solve social issues, which has been spreading globally recently.

  • Ethics of Choices & Actions
    • I considered and discussed the desires of different members in our school community as we aimed to make positive changes.
      • This included teachers, students, parents, and office staff.

• Overall Reflection

  • I challenged myself in new areas that I previously avoided.
    • For example, engaging in physical exercises and taking on a leadership role.
  • Instead of forcing myself to do things I don’t enjoy, I searched for activities that align with my personality.
