We are proud to share our participation in the "Girls Meet STEM Career" program, organized by the Shintaro Yamada D&I Foundation. This initiative is designed to inspire and empower female junior high and high school students by providing them with hands-on experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields. Japan currently has one of the lowest rates of women pursuing STEM degrees, with only 19% of female students entering university in these fields. By engaging with young women early in their academic journeys, we hope to contribute to a shift in these statistics, encouraging more women to see STEM as a viable, rewarding, and exciting career path. Our participation in Girls Meet STEM Career aligns with our commitment to nurturing the next generation.
