Abstract

Although the computer programming education in elementary schools has become imminent, the authors have dispatched students to support programming education, but it is difficult to sufficiently respond to requests. However, there are retired engineers and seniors interested in computer programming in every community. In order to find out such seniors, we offer computer programming courses for seniors, and work on supporting programming education at the elementary school in cooperation with the seniors who have taken the course. By reporting the history and contents of our effort, we analyze the meaning for participants of this activity and problems to be solved.
