As part of Accenture’s “Innovation-Driven STEM Talent Development Project”—a corporate social responsibility initiative—this program uses various robots as teaching tools. Participants will not only operate the robots but also learn how they work, design their own robots, and consider how robots can be utilized in society, culminating in a presentation of their ideas.
Registration for the August workshop opened yesterday. We look forward to your applications!
Let’s start robot programming!
We have started a robot programming course focused on problem-solving.
This course will be provided by CANVAS and Accenture Japan Ltd.
In this course, we will use robots as teaching materials. Children will not only operate the robots but also learn how they work, think about ways to use robots in society, and design their own new robots.
