[Call for Participants] Iwate Gathering Confirmed!

On June 14 and 15, we will be holding a training session for adults and a Raspberry Pi workshop for children at the Faculty of Engineering, Iwate University. You can register by emailing the address below or by phone.

We’re partnering with “codeMo,” a volunteer organization that will be providing child-rearing support through programming, primarily in Iwate Prefecture. They plan to hold Raspberry Pi workshops and install Raspberry Pi units in a shared office (!) that children are free to visit.
They are currently planning various initiatives in collaboration with industry, academia, and government entities in Iwate Prefecture.
