Today I spoke at this event organized by “Tokudane!”
Kanon Tani was there with me. She’s so cute!!!!!!
The photo shows Mr. Atsuo from CANVAS teaching Kanon how to use the chibi:bit.
In the UK, as programming education became mandatory, 1 million micro:bits were distributed to children.chibi:bit is a compatible device that runs on Microsoft’s PXT platform.
CANVAS is collaborating with Microsoft to develop curricula and conduct workshops that utilize chibi:bit.

In addition, a report on the “My First PC: Symposium on Learning and IT” has been posted at the following URL:
