Mr. Okada

At Kanagawa University Graduate School, I conducted research on neural networks aimed at solving problems that computers typically struggle with by equipping them with learning capabilities. I presented my research at an international conference in the United States. Since the era of DOS/V and Windows 3.1, I have been developing GUI-based programs.

After completing graduate school, I joined NEC Corporation as a system engineer for mobile communication systems, handling projects across Asia and Europe. From 2000 to 2003, I was stationed in the UK, contributing to the global rollout of next-generation mobile phone systems.

An e-learning program I developed for elementary schools and cram schools won the “GIGA Special Division Award” at the 17th Japan e-Learning Awards. I also authored a series of programming education columns for Education Newspaper. Additionally, I develop teaching materials for online classes on a weekly basis.

I prioritize creating an environment where students can enjoy programming freely and comfortably. My teaching approach respects their autonomy and encourages intellectual curiosity and creativity to flourish.

Main Books & Materials

Mr. Kuriki

I started learning C and Java in high school and later conducted research on quantum cryptographic communication at Meijo University’s Department of Information Engineering. During university, I developed a household budgeting app and participated in contests.

After graduating, I joined an IT company as a programmer, handling projects in C, C#, and VB.net. With knowledge of Unity, Python, and GAS, I also developed a rescheduling system for the classroom. Currently, I create many popular Minecraft teaching materials for kids.

I hope to share the idea that programming is easy to enjoy, yet deep and endlessly fascinating!
