[Report] Programming Lab in Akasaka

From a CANVAS Facebook post

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

[Saturday, July 12: Programming Lab in Akasaka] Starting
this session, the morning class welcomed two new students, making it even livelier!
It was an exciting start as everyone wondered, “What can we do with our first Raspberry Pi?”—checking out sample projects, books, and asking their classmates for ideas!The kids who’ve been participating
for a while, inspired by new ideas sparked by last month’s mini-presentation, are now hard at work on their projects. There’s an automatic
dog feeder, a car powered not by LEGO but by a new paper craft design with a switch that conducts electricity, and a child using Scratch to control and build a world within Minecraft.
In the afternoon class, even the adults joined in for a race! It wasn’t
just about spinning motors—they brought their own original controllers to steer their creations!
By continuing to work on these projects, everyone is experiencing what they can achieve, the joy of bringing ideas to life, and the challenges along the way. We’re really looking forward to seeing what everyone creates next!
