Programming Education Programming Workshop Held at Sumida Elementary School in Sumida City! Sumida Elementary School, which has been implementing programming initiatives since 2015, began with after-school clubs and has gradually expanded its scope to include integrated studies and classroom instruction; CANVAS continues to support these efforts.
During this training session, we reviewed past lessons with the teachers and provided hands-on experience with teaching materials they’ve used, such as Hour of Code and Scratch. We look forward to seeing their initiatives in the new school year!
*This initiative is supported as a CANVAS × Salesforce.com STEM education project.
