[Nogata City] Programming and AI Experience Class for Junior High and High School Students to be Held

We will be holding our Future Digital Human Resource Development Project again this year, targeting junior high and high school students who live in or attend school in the Chikuho region! This class, as a wide-area collaboration project by the two cities and two towns of Chikuho (Miyawaka City, Kotake Town, Kurate Town, Nogata City), was launched to increase future career and job options and to provide an opportunity to consider employment within regional companies. This year marks its 6th year.

The instructors are from Kyushu University's programming circle "GLEAP." Participants can learn from the basics to high-level content with highly detailed, almost one-on-one support, which has been highly praised in annual surveys.

You can choose to participate from two different themes: the Game Course and the AI Experience Course (each 3 days). In addition to practical programming skills, we will also hold a "Programming as a Job" session where company employees share their real-world experiences, and a factory tour and employee cafeteria experience at Advantec Nogata Business Office.

Online participation is also possible! Those who find it difficult to attend in person due to schedule conflicts can participate from anywhere. Why not take a peek into the world of programming during your summer vacation?
