Vice President of the club, Yuichi Okuhama is an Okinawa native and toured the club members in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Japan is a nation that is not afraid of innovation and progress, yet is passionately protective and proud of its culture. Temples, shrines, peaceful gardens and traditional customs co-exist with towering skyscrapers, futuristic architecture, speeding bullet trains and a quirky pop-culture. Beyond experiencing the amazing food and culture, the club members absorbed Japan\u2019s vigor in technological advancements which propelled ideas for new projects this semester.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in learning or practicing programming languages or computer science, Bits N\u2019 Bytes would like to welcome new members to join and become a part of their club.
