Chief Policy Officer (CPO) at IRODORI Inc. | Founder of Wagamama Lab | Advocate for Regional Revitalization and Woman EmpowermentAt Wagamama Lab, we believe that “Wagamama” represents the personal wishes and desires that people often keep to themselves—those things they silently endure or have given up on in their daily lives, yet still hope to improve. Our mission is to help young people bring these unspoken hopes to the surface and work on solving the challenges they observe around them.By tapping into these hidden desires and frustrations, students are empowered to create innovative solutions that directly address the needs of their local communities. We utilize MIT App Inventor as a key tool for students to design and build apps that solve these local challenges. Through collaboration with educators and local governments, Wagamama Lab provides the tools and support for youth to turn their “Wagamama” into meaningful actions, fostering a sense of social responsibility and real-world impact.
