Today’s episode of “Tokudane!” aired. And at exactly the same time, Rie-chan, the public relations representative for Workshop Collection, appeared on J-WAVE TOKYO MORNING’s special feature, “Let’s Try Digital Independent Research!”
She focused her remarks on the “Making & Coding Area” at Workshop Collection.
The host was Sean, who has also been very supportive of us on “Toku-dane!”
The “Making & Coding Area” is a hands-on corner themed around digital fabrication—where you can create, play, and learn through programming, robotics, 3D printing, electronics, video, electronic musical instruments, and more.

Please be sure to come visit us on the day of the event!
