Abstract
There is a growing interest in programming learning thereby many programming workshops are held for elementary school students. Presentation are carried out to share the completed project with other participants in programing workshops. One of the general presentation methods is to show static slides on a screen containing project explanation, which has a negative impact on a dynamic feeling of the project. We assume that it is important to demonstrate a project work directly to the audience not by using static slides. However, it is not easy for elementary school students to speak while thinking the points of their projects in their minds during the demonstration. In order to improve this situation, we have developed a presentation support system for programming workshops. This system enables students to create and view a material of the presentation easily with the provided interface. As a result of applying the system to an actual workshop, it was confirmed that conducting a presentation while browsing the material of the completed project was effective and made students speak spontaneously and voluntary.
