[Report] Maker Retreat Successfully Concluded

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

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

The “Maker Retreat” in Miyazaki wrapped up successfully!
With all the teams’ projects completed, we held a presentation session.
Projects covered a wide range of themes, including robots for the elderly, a budget-friendly Roomba, a security device that detects intruders, a digital baseball board, and much more.

We received some wonderful feedback, such as, “I want to keep taking on new challenges in crafting,” and “I realized that I really can make anything myself!” We look forward to seeing you all again!

This training camp was held in collaboration with the Miyazaki Prefecture Information Industry Association.

We also exchanged ideas with the association’s members regarding future initiatives related to “programming × making.” Please stay tuned for our upcoming activities!
