The final screening of the Entrepreneurship Program "High School Student Ring 2022", which considers business from questions that high school students feel familiar to them, was held in Tokyo. Service won the Grand Prix.
According to Recruit, the organizer of the matching service, the idea of the matching service was based on the experience of a student who had no local badminton club when he entered junior high school, and was able to enter a school with a badminton club by commuting from his grandmother's house.
When this student conducted a questionnaire survey of about 500 junior and senior high school students nationwide through SNS, it was found that about 50% wanted to go to school outside the prefecture, but 10 in 1 gave up due to the lack of a dormitory.Therefore, I came up with a service that matches elderly people who want to make effective use of their empty rooms with students who want to go to a school in a distant place, focusing on the homes of elderly people who have left their families and have vacant rooms.If this is realized, it will also be beneficial for schools that are trying to accept students from outside the prefecture, such as depopulated areas, in order to survive.
The judges highly praised the idea, saying, "This is an idea that can only be conceived from a high school student's point of view. It also has a great impact on society, which is suffering from an increase in vacant houses and an aging society."The award winner commented, "I realized that the services in the world are born from small inspirations and familiar things of a certain person." A teacher who participated because he thought it would be good for students to think about and cultivate skills to use ICT, said, "ICT learning is all about input, but in this program, I learned that it can be used for the experience of output. I was blown away,” he commented.
The semi-grand prix was awarded to the students who are the first students of the general inquiry course at Rakunan High School.By proposing a subscription service that allows you to fix your own hairstyle inexpensively at a beauty salon on the go, you can attract customers to the store without spending advertising costs, as well as the issues you feel yourself. ”, and the judges evaluated that it would be a good business if the industry could find an opportunity here.The winner commented, "I realized that there is a possibility that I can solve the problems I feel, rather than having someone else solve them for me."
