\"Tokyo<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy few months here for the Tame in Tokyo!
\nFollowing a fantastic relaxing few weeks in the UK, I teamed up with 3 good friends (collectively we work together as an NPO, ‘Make It Creative<\/a>‘) on producing a series of workshops for Microsoft’s YouthSpark<\/a> program (), through which the company empowers young people worldwide.<\/p>\n

Our workshops combined Internet of Things technology (sensors, Intel Edison Arduino kits) with Design Thinking, enabling participants to come up with original solutions to help support local communities in Japan.<\/p>\n

It was also a great opportunity for me personally too, to spend more time learning about how to use this technology, which I can now integrate in future wearable devices.<\/p>\n

The workshops were held in Tokyo, Sendai and Kobe, and were only possible thanks to the support of the team at Microsoft Japan, many local volunteers and community mentors – and of course our fantastic participants!
\nThanks to everyone who took part and made it such a success!<\/p>\n
