Report on "Little Programmers in Adachi Ward's Galaxy City" (Jan. 20)

Yesterday was the day for “Little Programmers,” a programming workshop for preschoolers. Amid a light snowfall, many children were excitedly creating stories through programming.
We’ve been running this program since April 2016, and while some children are returning participants, there are also many first-timers—I can really feel it’s gradually gaining traction.
The next session is on Friday, February 10, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., same as usual. You can join at any time, so please feel free to come along!
