Gridwork is a revolutionary product that combines the functions of writing as a conventional stationery item and writing in digital files for record-keeping. One of the advantages of this product is that the Gridboard and Gridnote can be written on and erased repeatedly, making Gridwork eco-friendly and SDG compliant. The erasable water-based ballpoint pen is replacing the pencil in European elementary schools. Those using it will be able to write neatly with Gridwork and appreciate the merits of online education. Thus, Gridwork can contribute to the advance of EdTech.
