AVAD's SPACEBLOCK® will be exhibiting at the "HANAZONO EXPO 2023," organized by Higashi Osaka City, taking place from Friday, November 3rd to Saturday, November 4th at Hanazono Central Park.

HANAZONO EXPO, similar to a world expo, gathers countries from around the world and showcases various social challenges. It focuses on Osaka's attractions in "manufacturing," "culture," "universities," and "sports," presenting an exciting future through new lifestyles, values, and digitalization driven by cutting-edge technology. At the SPACEBLOCK booth, participants can experience "making things" workshops using programming with various sensors and parts. There will also be interactive art attractions synchronized with body movements. Additionally, original can badges will be given to workshop participants. We invite you to visit us!

• About SPACEBLOCK®
In recent years, STEAM education has been highly valued in educational settings. Crossing traditional boundaries like humanities and sciences, students learn to discover and solve real-life problems by studying five interdisciplinary subjects. A vital aspect of STEAM education is "computational thinking," the ability to think logically about various elements and steps to achieve a goal. SPACEBLOCK, through dedicated microcontroller boards and visual programming, nurtures computational thinking in a game-like manner. It is a powerful tool that brings out the essential aspects of STEAM education: "agency" and "enjoyment."
