A Pioneer in Educational Technology
Casio, a Japanese company founded in 1957 by the Kashio brothers (Tadao, Toshio, Kazuo, and Yucio), has dedicated itself to creating products that support daily life and enhance education in schools worldwide. Over the past six decades, Casio has been recognized for its innovative approach to product development.
The Birth of a Revolutionary Product
In 1960, Casio launched the “001,” the world’s first electronic desktop calculator with memory functions. This groundbreaking product opened up a new realm of possibilities, not just for the company but for the entire world. Since then, Casio has introduced numerous first-of-their-kind calculators, including printing calculators, scientific calculators, graphing calculators, and financial calculators.
Commitment to Teachers and Students
“Our commitment is not only to our customers but also to our employees, striving to create something that brings the wonder of customer satisfaction and the joy of interacting with our products,” said Hirofumi Takeda, General Director of Casio Mexico.
Listening to Educators
Alfredo Cano, Director of Consumer Products at Casio, emphasized the company’s focus on teachers and students in education. “We concentrate on teachers and students, as our scientific calculators and graphing calculators are widely used in schools. We constantly communicate with these teachers, incorporating their ideas and requirements into our products to improve and evolve calculator functionality.”
Casio’s Educational Division and Initiatives
With a dedicated educational division in each country, Casio is committed to addressing national and international educational standards. In Mexico, their projects aim to improve teaching methods and strengthen education.
“We have generated projects that benefit students from primary school to university and postgraduate levels. We participate in various projects by the SEP, government bodies, public and private universities, teacher associations, researchers, which allows us to connect more naturally and systematically with young people,” explained Claudia Méndez, Casio’s Academic Coordinator.
Innovative Technology for Education
Casio offers technology that includes both physical devices and software applications, providing a virtual platform for discussing mathematical concepts in various fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, and school mathematics. The company strengthens educational proposals with academic leaders.
Casio Teacher Members
Teachers can access a platform called Casio Teacher Members, offering all resources completely free to download by activating their Casio ID. These projects are designed for classroom use, enhancing learning and fostering scientific thinking.
The Importance of Dedicated Calculators
Despite the convenience of smartphones, educators recommend using calculators with closed architecture due to fewer distractions. Casio offers exam mode calculators that close any additional programs students might have installed, ensuring they cannot use them during exams.
Looking Ahead
Casio reaffirmed its commitment to providing innovative products and invited everyone to follow Casio Education’s official sites in Mexico for study materials. With six decades of dedication, Casio remains the leading calculator brand.
