Programming Education [Report] Open Class Report @ Kami-Itabashi Second Junior High School Reprinted from the PEG page, a programming education project promoted by CANVAS.
*********************************************
We received a report on the open class from Mr. Shinmura at our PEG partner school, Kami-Itabashi Second Junior High School! Thank you, Mr.
Shinmura!
In Mr. Shinmura’s class, students are using a “sawing assistance system” powered by a Raspberry Pi to cut out the pieces needed to build a wooden 3D puzzle.
The goal of the open class was to use a Raspberry Pi and Scratch to create a flipbook-style video showing how to assemble a 3D puzzle. I’m really curious to see
what kind of video they made! Please be sure to check out the report as well.

The third-term technology class for first-year students has begun. Here is a scene from an open class.
The goal of this unit is to use a Raspberry Pi and Scratch to create a video showing how to assemble the “3D puzzle” that the students had previously built.
Since this was the first class of the semester, the Robocon Club had set up the monitors, mice, and other equipment in the woodshop the day before and taken care of the wiring.
First, we checked the wiring.We divided the lines into power, output, and input categories, checked which power outlet each student’s Raspberry Pi was connected to, and traced the lines shown in the diagram on the worksheet.
Since there are only four outlets on a single desk, if we set up four computers on one desk as shown in the photo, there aren’t enough outlets.
So, I used a three-prong power strip, but it kept falling out.If the monitor goes completely dark, the first thing to do is check the power supply.
To do this, you need to confirm which outlet your Raspberry Pi is plugged into. After completing
this check, I built a “3-second countdown timer.” The
photo shows us looking at the finished project.
