Kikuyo Town Library, Kumamoto Prefecture

The Kikuyo Town Library in Kumamoto Prefecture is hosting workshops using the event support tools created as part of a project CANVAS has been conducting in the Tohoku region since 2012.
The first workshop was held during last year’s summer vacation.
Participants reportedly enjoyed creating their own games at their own pace—whether chatting and having fun with friends or concentrating deeply on their own!

We’re so happy to be able to bring another fun experience to the kids!
Through our textbook, the circle of people experiencing programming is expanding.
