Workshop content

The workshops are designed for children 10 to 13 years of age. The participants will learn basic coding using “IchigoJam” and “micro:bit” which were developed for educational purposes.

Also, they will enjoy “electronics projects” by making toy beads, and control them using the computer programs. An English version of manual made by Ms. Miyoshi is available upon request.

There are various samples of fuse bead shapes such as stars, fireworks, and cars. Pick your favorite shape and colors and make your own beads craft. (*)
It’s so fun to make one with friends and family.
(*) Heating of the beads will be done by adults.

Show them to the people from all over the world who you will communicate with on the internet. It would be wonderful if this becomes an opportunity for you to know and enjoy interacting with people from different areas, ages, and cultures.

Reach out for help when you are in need and support others.
