[Report] Programming Lab in Akasaka

From a CANVAS Facebook post

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

On Saturday, May 10, we held the Programming Lab in Akasaka.
In this course, each participant uses their own Raspberry Pi—a small computer—to freely create whatever they want.
This was the second session.
Some participants were building a lunar rover that could move forward, backward, left, and right using two motors; others were modifying slippers into switches and programming them to race on the screen; and still others were testing their mechanical designs. Everyone looked completely focused.
I’m already very excited to see what kind of projects they’ll create!
