HADO has been officially integrated into the curricula and after-school programs of schools and educational institutions around the world. From elementary schools to universities, it’s now in over 300 schools globally. Whether it’s part of regular PE classes in Japanese elementary and secondary schools, a pop-up academy tour in New Zealand, or a STEM-focused program in the United States, HADO is earning attention not only as a form of physical activity but also as a platform for collaborative learning and STEAM education.

Educational Benefits and Objectives

• Physical Fitness & Health
  By immersing students in AR technology, HADO motivates them to move actively on their own. It fosters self-driven exercise habits that traditional PE classes often struggle to cultivate, helping students build strength, stamina, and overall fitness.

• Collaborative Learning & Communication
  Through team battles, students develop strategic thinking and learn how to divide roles effectively. These experiences strengthen their ability to communicate and work together.

• Alignment with STEAM Education
  Within the HADO program, students explore cutting-edge technologies, game design principles, and sensor mechanics. This hands-on exposure helps cultivate skills in math, science, engineering, and computer science.

• Critical Thinking Development
  Players analyze performance data and devise strategies to improve. The problem-solving and analytical skills they gain are transferable to other sports—and to many real-world challenges.

Future Outlook

• International Competitions
  We plan to host global tournaments where students from different countries can compete and interact, offering unique cultural exchanges and experiences beyond mere gameplay.

• Research & Evaluation
  By systematically measuring outcomes and applying a PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) cycle, we’ll continually refine the program. We’ll also share findings through academic publications and presentations at international conferences.

• After-School & Summer Camps
  We will expand HADO-based programs outside the classroom—through dedicated after-school clubs and summer camps—creating enriching learning and social environments for children who want to delve deeper.
