[Media] Article Published on ITpro

ITpro published an article about the PEG Results Report Event held at the University of Tokyo on Tuesday, December 23 of last year. The article provides a detailed account of everything from partner presentations on practical applications to the Raspberry Pi presentation by the children.
The article also quotes remarks made during the event: “It is important for schools, society, and the local community to collaborate in implementing this initiative, and to ensure it does not become a one-time event. To that end, PEG was designed as a ‘gathering’ (meaning a place where everyone comes together to engage in activities).“As for what constitutes a sustainable initiative, there is no single correct answer at this point.” We will continue to advance PEG through trial and error, working closely with all of you.
We look forward to your continued support.
