Code for Everyone Releases 'Aramco STEAM Challenge' Practice Report
The non-profit organization Code for Everyone (Yokohama, Kanagawa; Representative Director: Akiko Suginohara) has released a practice report summarizing the two-year efforts of the 'Aramco STEAM Challenge,' a program for public junior high and high schools implemented since fiscal 2024 in partnership with Aramco Asia Japan (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Waleed A. Al-Murad).
This project promotes the expansion of STEAM education, primarily in public middle and high schools, by providing hardware educational materials (STEAM materials) to 5,000 students nationwide at no cost. Through practical learning using STEAM materials, the project aims to foster students' interest in social issues and develop the problem-solving skills necessary to improve their own lives and society in the future.
Throughout the project, 40 teachers implemented lessons using STEAM materials, reaching 7,657 students (3,410 in FY2024; 4,247 in FY2025). The number of kits distributed, which exceeded initial plans, demonstrates high interest from schools and confirms that the project achieved results far beyond its original goals.

We hope this report will help shape the future of STEAM education.'
