Programming Day in Nasu Town: Chibi:bit Workshop—Registration Now Open!

"Programming Day in Nasu Town" is a series of workshops held in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, as part of "Programming for ALL," a project to promote programming education jointly led by Microsoft and CANVAS. Following last year’s success, this year’s "Programming Day in Nasu Town" is finally kicking off!

For this fourth installment, we’ll be holding a programming workshop using “Chibi:bit,” a micro:bit-compatible programming education tool developed in the UK. Let’s have some fun making LEDs blink! Beginners are more than welcome!
