A Media Lab for Kids
$27 Million from Isao Okawa Creates Center for Future Children at MIT
November 18, 1998

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Aiming to transform the ways children live, learn,
and play in the digital age, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) today announced the establishment of the Okawa Center for Future
Children.
The new center is made possible through a $27 million donation from
Isao Okawa, Chairman of CSK Corp. and Sega Enterprises Ltd. The
donation is one of the largest in MIT's 137-year history, and is
believed to be the largest gift ever by a Japanese individual to a
foreign institution. <snip>

for Brian's concerns about the BIG money envolved in the planning for
transforming future children and where it is coming from.   Dale
