[Media] Featured in the Nikkei Shimbun’s “NIKKEI Plus 1”

In this morning’s NIKKEI Plus 1 section of the Nikkei Shimbun,
a reporter celebrating his 60th birthday experienced a programming workshop at the Learning of Tomorrow Expo alongside elementary school students and wrote an article about it. I also provided some commentary.
There’s also a photo of me offering comments on programming education for NHK’s “Navigation” and the Asahi Shimbun (Nagoya edition).
For over a year now, various media representatives have been asking me, “Isn’t the media about to get tired of programming education?” But,
I’m still getting plenty of inquiries, so it seems that’s not the case after all?!
Please don’t get tired of it even after it kicks off in earnest in 2020 (*^^*)
