CANVAS Fellows Association

Following the symposium marking the establishment of the Japan Society for STEM Education, we held the CANVAS Fellows Meeting.
Thank you very much to the approximately 120 of you who joined us today.
I was completely surprised to receive flowers congratulating me on earning my Ph.D.—I never expected that.Thank you all so much—I’m moved to tears.
Mr. Harada from Viscuit told me, “This community is a real asset,” and it truly is a treasure to me.
It’s been 15 years thanks to all of your support.
I will continue to devote myself to nurturing “digital kids” who will shape the future, so I look forward to your continued support!
Thank you so much for joining us today♪
