Today I went to the Seibi Education and Culture Hall in Higashikurume City. I had a meeting with Director Yokoyama.
The Seibi Education and Culture Hall is home to lots of living creatures, including crickets, katydids, and medaka fish!

series of workshops using Raspberry Pi!
Please stay tuned for our ongoing initiatives at this public facility.
Director Yokoyama is the former principal of Wada Elementary School in Suginami Ward.
For the past 10 years, he has been leading programming initiatives at the elementary school using tools like Squeak.
