Kino-kunichi ICT Programming Contest

Today is the final judging round of the “Kinokuni ICT Programming Contest.” The top finishers in this contest will be recommended to participate in the National Elementary and Junior High School Programming Competition (JJPC) (*^^*)

Since we’re calling for submissions that highlight the region’s nature, culture, history, and people, there are plenty of ideas unique to Wakayama—it looks like this could be the start of a new era of regional revitalization!

The virtual judging venue handled everything—from the general presentations to the group demonstrations and Q&A sessions—just as smoothly as the in-person venue. It was fantastic!
