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

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

Today we’re holding a workshop at Code Academy High School in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture!
Code Academy is a correspondence high school specializing in programming.
The students are here for a three-day in-person session starting today.
They’ll be working on projects using Raspberry Pi!

We're making game controllers!
We're using cardboard to create the racket part for the tennis game "Pong.
" There are so many creative possibilities—like combining it with LED lights or making it into a two-player game! I can't wait to see what kind of creations will be made
over the next three days.
