[Media] Tokyo Calendar

Yesterday, “World Business Satellite” featured a segment on programming education.
I was interviewed, but what I appreciated most was that they sought my input right from the planning stage.

There was also a segment on “Tokudane!” yesterday, but
I’d love to see programming and digital textbooks featured on the “Direct Interview” segment someday.

Also, an interview I did with Yasufumi Kanemaru is featured in the current issue of Tokyo Calendar.
Mr. Kanemaru has been a great support to me for the past 10 years.
The projects we worked on together back then have led directly to my current work in programming education.
We met again after a long time at a meeting of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Industrial Structure Council, which led to this feature in *Tokyo Calendar*…
The meal was delicious.
