Aramco Asia Japan K.K. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Abdullah Jastaniah; hereinafter “AAJ”) and Code for Everyone (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Yuta Tonegawa) are collaborating on the Aramco STEAM Challenge, a program which aims to promote STEAM education, particularly in public junior high and high schools. The new program was launched with a grand kick-off ceremony at Machida City Minami Naruse Junior High School on Tuesday, July 2, 2024.
The Aramco STEAM Challenge will provide free hardware teaching materials (“STEAM teaching materials”) to help 5,000 middle and high school students nationwide to develop skills for problem solving through practical learning. The program also aims to provide ongoing support to teachers by offering individual consultations, lesson planning support, and review sessions to address the challenges they face, with the aim of building a better future through education.
The kick-off ceremony was attended by AAJ Representative Director Abdullah Jastaniah, educators, and 12 students from Minami Naruse Junior High School. H.E. Dr. Ghazi Faisal S. Binzagr, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia attended as a guest of honor. Jastaniah presented the school with STEAM teaching materials to be used in the project.
In addition, a mock class was held by instructors from Code for Everyone, where students and others involved in the project experienced hands-on learning to solve familiar life issues, using the materials.
