On Sunday, June 1, at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), four workshops will be held on hot topics such as Raspberry Pi, Minecraft,
motorized cars, and robots.
PEG will be hosting a workshop using Raspberry Pi!

The event’s organizer, “DigiLab Okinawa,” is currently running workshops and other programs with the mission of conveying the joy of programming and making things to children, as well as serving as a bridge between university experts and middle school teachers. This time, too, the event will be held in collaboration with various universities and schools, including the University of the Ryukyus and OIST.

This event in Okinawa brings together people of all ages—from children to adults—with diverse professional backgrounds and areas of interest.
We’re already looking forward to seeing what kind of event it will be!
