The 35th KOSEN Programming Contest was held at the Nara Centennial Hall (Nara Prefecture) from October 19 (Sat) to 20 (Sun). Two teams from Toyota KOSEN, one in the free division and one in the competition division, competed in the free category and received the NICT Award from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in the free category and a special award in the competition category.
The work “Futaringoto” exhibited in the free section is a gadget with a speaker that uses artificial intelligence to convey to the other person that you want to convey but cannot convey well. By winning the NICT Award for this work, we have qualified for the Entrepreneur Koshien to be held in March. In addition, one representative was granted the right to participate in a training program in Silicon Valley in the U.S. in February.

In the competition category, participants were given a board consisting of multiple pieces (cultural properties before restoration) and multiple cutting dies (restoration tools), and the theme was to create a program to restore the original cultural properties with as few hands as possible. Although they narrowly missed out on winning the final, they won a special prize after the first and second place. This is the third consecutive year that the competition category has won a prize.
