Workshop at the 4th Koga City Education ICT Forum

*********************************************

Today, I’m attending the 4th Education ICT Forum being held in Koga City, Ibaraki Prefecture! As part of the “Programming for ALL” initiative that CANVAS is promoting in collaboration with Microsoft, we’re currently conducting workshops in the morning and afternoon!

In the morning, we’re holding a Minecraft version of “Hour of Code” for elementary school students, and in the afternoon, we’re offering hands-on experiences with Chibi:bit for educators, corporate representatives, and others.
