In April 2001 CSK Corporation and the Okawa Foundation for Information and Telecommunications established the Okawa Center research facility in the Keihanna Kansai Science City. CSK Group's founder, the late Isao Okawa sought to encourage children to draw on their boundless creativity to establish an advanced information society that would narrow the differences which are causing strife in the world. His vision is taking practical shape at the Okawa Center for Future Children, currently under construction at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Laboratory and at the Okawa Center in Japan. The Okawa Center in Japan is providing children the opportunity to experience various channels of expression and communication through its CAMP activities. At the same time it will serve as a facility for Internet and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) studies, allowing children from around the world to communicate freely with each other.
