Good Design Award Judging Panel Concludes

The Good Design Award judging session—which had us cooped up at Tokyo Big Sight—has come to an end. Once again this year, the conversations and discussions with the
other judges were truly inspiring. Great job, everyone! While many of the entries weren’t in the category
I was responsible for, I was surprised to see so many related to programming education.
Personally, I’ve been buying just about everything that’s come out so far, but there are just so many now that I might be reaching my limit…
