Rakuten Technology & Innovation Awards Ceremony

I received an award at the Rakuten Technology & Innovation Awards ♡
I was there with Linda from “Ruby’s Adventure” and Ma-chan, the world’s oldest programmer.
This isn’t an award specifically for women or for education—it’s a Technology & Innovation Award—and apparently, it just so happened that three women involved in programming education were selected based on the voting results. Thank you so much!
It’s a source of quiet pride for the CANVAS team that Ma-chan—who’s making waves on the global stage—first discovered programming at a workshop co-hosted by CANVAS and Microsoft.

Finally, a big thank you to San-chan for all your support!
