Scratcher Meetup: Scratch Programming Study Group

Organized by Japanese Scratch users, the “Scratcher Meetup: Scratch Programming Study Group” will be held on Thursday, December 10, starting at 6:00 PM at Aoyama Gakuin University’s Aoyama Campus. A “meetup” is a gathering of people who share a common interest or goal.
We’ve heard that Ricarose Roque from the MIT Media Lab Scratch Team will be joining us as a special guest!
There will also be a “Show & Tell” session where participants can share their daily activities, so this might be a great opportunity to showcase the growing popularity of Scratch in Japan to the Scratch Team.
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and capacity is limited to 40 people, so if you’d like to attend, please register as soon as possible (even though it says “Event not yet public” below, that’s okay).
