[Report] Aomori GATHERING!

Reprinted from the PEG page, a programming education project promoted by CANAVS.

*********************************************

<Aomori GATHERING!> A workshop led by participants from the
Iwate GATHERING was held in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture!
At “Mana Village,” a tutoring center in Hachinohe, every Saturday will now be programming workshop day.

I received the group photo from the first session held the other day. I heard that
during the workshop, the children created a game called “Run Away from the Cat!” Click here to read the report, which describes how the children—including those using a computer for the first time—enjoyed making games, starting with icebreaker activities using
balls.

The GATHERING movement is spreading across the country.
Lately, we’ve been delighted to hear from everyone sharing news like, “After the GATHERING event, we held a workshop like this!” We look forward to
continuing to share stories about how this movement is growing!
