In late August, the third event, “Creators Camp,” was held.
This time, a Raspberry Pi workshop was led by OtOMO members, Mr. Ishihara (representative of Machi Quest Co., Ltd.), and Mr. Yasukawa (representative of Yasu Lab).
The theme this time was “Pythagoras Switch”! All participants worked together to build a Pythagoras Switch device using Scratch, and they filmed the final result.After repeated trial and error, here’s the video of their successful run!
It’s a video filled with everyone’s passion.
Please take a look.
