Our Vision
‘Enjoying STEAM’
STEAM is fun! But it’s even more fun when you challenge yourself and grow together with friends and rivals! STEAM is an educational approach that focuses on developing skills for success in the future, such as creativity and problem-solving, and is one of the most highly regarded forms of education in today’s world. Middle and high school students enjoy and grow while developing such important skills.
SAKURA Tempesta strives to be a place where this can happen, and we keep this in mind in our daily activities.
‘popularizing STEAM’
We love STEAM! However, we want to share this joy with many more people and enjoy it together. STEAM holds endless potential for the future. We want to share it with students our age, with younger children, and with as many people as possible, in order to increase the number of STEAM fans. This is what drives us.
