[Report] Programming Lab in Akasaka

On October 11, we held the Programming Lab in Akasaka.

This time, I worked on my project while thinking about the “recipe” for my own creation.
How do you make curry?
First, I learned that
creating a programming project is similar to cooking, and then I thought through, one by one, the elements necessary for my future projects.
What ingredients are needed? In what order should I make it? Should I add a little something?
Making LEDs light up, making motors spin—these are the essential ingredients for creating a project.
While working with their own hands, the children explore how to build their projects.
They worked on their projects at home and asked questions at Akasaka.
By repeating this process, their projects gradually improved step by step.
Because Akasaka lets them work at their own pace, even the children who just started participating this month can take on Raspberry Pi
projects one step at a time.
We’re looking forward to the “idea recipes” everyone will bring next month!
