[Report] Programming Workshop! @ Galaxy City

Reprinted from the PEG page of the programming education project promoted by CANVAS.

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

Today we held a programming workshop at Galaxy City in Adachi Ward!
Using Scratch Junior teaching materials kindly loaned to us by Professor Sugiura of Yamanashi Eiwa University,
we conducted the workshop in collaboration with Salesforce.com employees.

The participants were mainly preschoolers and children in the lower grades of elementary school.
After everyone worked together to create basic movements, each participant came up with their own unique ideas—such as using cameras,
adding dialogue and sound effects, and changing the stage one after another.
Registration for the workshop opened this morning, and it filled up immediately, showing just how much interest there was.
Starting next month, we’ll be holding a programming workshop once a month after school.
We look forward to seeing you there!
