PEG Official Website Launched

The PEG (Programming Education Gathering) Kickoff Event Was a Success!

To everyone who came out to the event despite the snow, to everyone who watched online, and to all our speakers—
thank you very much!

I was thrilled to see the wide range of practical examples shared by PEG partners across the country.
The official website is now live!

Why did you choose the name “PEG”?

That’s because we want to share the insights, ideas, and success stories—and sometimes even the failures—of many people, and work
together to create a digital creative learning environment for children.

We plan to place the greatest emphasis on “gathering”—that is, bringing people together.
On our website, we’ll be compiling and sharing a wide range of information related to
programming education—from workshop and lesson plans to curriculum materials and information on related events.
We’d love to hear your ideas and learn about your initiatives.

We also hope to
create a space where people can share their concerns and questions about learning to code and exchange ideas with one another online.

We aim to create a website that is both
broad and in-depth—one that can be used by everyone, from those wondering, “What is programming?” to those who are already actively programming—so we would be delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with you all.

We look forward to your continued support.

Finally, I made a logo and some PEG stickers, too~!!!!
