Programming + November 3 is deadline!Elementary and junior high school programming contest JJPC is looking for works

Getting many people evaluate the work is a great opportunity to learn and grow.

　Since last year, programming education in elementary schools has become compulsory, and this year, programming education has been expanded in junior high schools due to new learning guidelines.Increasingly, programming of elementary and junior high school students is attracting attention.Under such circumstances, the sixth national elementary and junior high school programming tournament is being recruited on Wednesday, November 3, 2021.

　The national elementary and junior high school programming tournament is a contest that applies programming works made by elementary and junior high school students at home, schools and cram schools.With software that runs on a PC, smartphone, or tablet, or hardware such as robot / electronic work, if it is an original work on its own, there is no specification of the theme, regardless of the language or work format to be used.You can also apply for duplicate).

　And the major feature is that programming is positioned as something to learn to acquire the power to express."Imagination", "expression", and "technical capabilities" are the criteria for screening.Not only for competing for programming skills, children who are good at mathematics and logical things, children who are interested in art and music, and children who like to disassemble and make things.We are aiming for a tournament where you can also challenge.

　The following is an overview of the tournament.It was held with a new judge from this year.

Listen to live distribution children about the appeal of programming!

　A national elementary and junior high school programming tournament started in 2015 because there was no place to present works made by children.Six years have passed, so the students who were in the first grade of elementary school at the time may be in junior high school students, and the students who applied in the third grade of junior high school may be close to college.

　It is also true that the environment surrounding children's programming is changing.Therefore, I planned an interview with children who participated in this tournament and won the Grand Prix and the semi -grand prix.In line with this, we will open a YouTube channel for the national elementary and junior high school programming tournament and deliver it live.

　How do children actually programming do programming?What are you having fun and what are the hardships and the work completed?Their raw voice should be helpful for children and parents who want to start programming, and what they are in trouble with.

Live distribution (10/17) Madoka Chiyoda and Ryo Shimizu.
