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

Today, we're holding "Programming Day in Nasu Town"!
The event features a three-part program consisting of a lecture, a training session, and a workshop for children.

We were honored to welcome Mr. Hirahui, Superintendent of Education for Nasu Town, and Mr. Hoshino of the Nasu-Shiobara Creative Lab,
who shared their vision for the future of programming education in Nasu Town.

"Programming Day in Nasu Town"
is a community partnership project being carried out as
part of the YouthSpark project by Microsoft and CANVAS.
It is an initiative designed to bring together local residents—led by Mr. Hoshino—
and members of the Board of Education to
collaboratively explore ways to promote programming education in Nasu Town through cooperation between the community and schools.http://canvas.ws/project/nasumachi_programming
