Yokosuka City’s Programming Education Initiatives

Here’s a look at the website for Yokosuka City’s programming education initiative, which PEG is also helping to support! Once a month, Yokosuka
City holds a programming workshop using Raspberry Pi at the Lifelong Learning Center.
These workshops are run by professors from local universities and staff from the Lifelong Learning Center who participated in training sessions held by PEG.We’ve heard that spots for the
workshops fill up as soon as registration opens!
During summer break and other extended holidays, they plan to offer advanced programs such as electronics projects. We’ll continue to report on
Yokosuka City’s initiatives in the future! Please stay tuned.
