Aichi Gathering—a community in Aichi where people interested in learning to program come together—has also kicked off!
I had actually planned to go until the day before, but had to cancel due to various circumstances… It’s a
shame, but I’m glad to hear it was a lively event!
I’m currently running a fever (lol), but it really lifted my spirits!

At the networking event and workshop for the PEG Programming Education Gathering
in Aichi, Professor Abe—in charge of PEG Supervision for CANVAS Kumai—will discuss topics such as “What exactly is PEG?
What inspired it? What kind of activities do we carry out? Why the Raspberry Pi? …and more
. It was a valuable opportunity to exchange questions
and deepen discussions with everyone—sharing insights that can’t be fully conveyed online but are possible only in a face-to-face setting!
