“Exciting Programming for Elementary School Students”

Mr. Abe, a CANVAS Fellow, has published a book titled “Exciting Programming for Elementary School Students”!
http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4822285154/

This is a book designed for children to create things on their own while they play.
I was also very honored to be asked to write the jacket blurb.
It includes a foreword by Professor Mitchell Resnick of the MIT Media Lab and an essay by Dr. Alan Kay at the end of the book.

Let's make some
programmable toys with Mr. Abe again this summer!
