Summer Camp Begins

The CANVAS Programming Summer Camp kicked off yesterday!
At “Sodacco,” a shared office in Daikanyama, we’re holding a workshop where participants create musical instruments through programming using MakeyMakey—a circuit board developed at MIT that acts as a “universal controller.”
MakeyMakey integrates with Scratch, allowing participants to program sounds and create not only music but also original videos. After learning a few key tips for building instruments, the camp will culminate in a live performance using their original creations! Stay tuned to see what kind of creations they’ll come up with!
