公益財団法人 ソニー教育財団

The Sony Education Foundation is a public interest incorporated foundation committed to fostering children's curiosity and scientific thinking. Established by Sony's founder, Masaru Ibuka, the foundation supports educational initiatives across schools and preschools by providing grants and various forms of assistance. Its main focus is to cultivate an environment where children can appreciate the wonders of science and nature.

The foundation offers a wide range of programs, including training workshops for teachers aimed at enhancing the quality of science education and childcare. Additionally, it conducts the Mirai Teachers Academy, targeting primary and junior high school educators to develop leaders in educational reform. Children benefit from hands-on experiences through Sony's Monozukuri (craftsmanship) workshops and programs that allow high school students to collaborate with engineers on real-world projects.

By promoting educational research and sharing innovative practices, the Sony Education Foundation aims to empower the next generation, encouraging them to explore their world with inquisitiveness and creativity.
