Uncategorized The “Workshop Collection Mini” in Fukuoka Has Come to a Close! & Updates on the Next Event! On Saturday, August 19, and Sunday, August 20, 2017, the “Workshop Collection Mini in Fukuoka” was held at “FUKUOKA growth next,” located on the site of the former Daimyo Elementary School in Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City!
Under the theme “Play and Learn: Science and Digital,” the event brought together a variety of workshops—covering science, electronics, digital technology, and art and design—designed to help participants discover the joy of making things and develop the kind of thinking that sparks ideas and creativity.
We welcomed a staggering total of approximately 14,000 visitors over the two days! We’d like to express our
sincere gratitude to everyone who joined us despite the sweltering
midsummer heat.
A report has also been posted on the website of Goody Co., Ltd., our co-organizer with CANVAS!
