A Trailblazer in STEAM Education
Sachiko Nakajima is a remarkable figure who has made a profound impact in the realm of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). As the founder and CEO of steAm, Inc., she works diligently to inspire and equip the next generation of girls with the tools they need to succeed in these critical areas. Her journey began when she became the first Japanese woman to win a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad during high school.

Clé de Peau Beauté believes that unlocking the potential of girls is vital for a better future, and Ms. Nakajima's work encapsulates this belief. Gender equality in education is crucial, yet challenges remain; a recent report showed that women only represent 16% of STEM graduates in Japan. Ms. Nakajima is passionate about dismantling the barriers that hinder girls from pursuing careers in STEM.
Building a Community of Support
Through her involvement with the Power of Radiance Awards, Ms. Nakajima will engage with established leaders in women’s education, amplifying efforts aimed at fostering a supportive community for girls in STEAM.

The discussions underscored the importance of mentorship and support systems for young girls aspiring to enter STEAM fields.
Grants and Future Initiatives
As part of her recognition, Ms. Nakajima will receive a grant from Clé de Peau Beauté, further bolstering her initiatives aimed at encouraging girls in STEAM. One significant project she is working on is “STEM ConnectHER,” which aims to establish a regional network of women in STEM across the Asia-Pacific area. This network will provide essential mentorship to aspiring female students and professionals.
Making Mathematics Enjoyable
In addition to her work on STEM ConnectHER, Ms. Nakajima is leading the “Suri-Joshi” program, designed to spark enthusiasm for mathematics among young girls and their mothers. This initiative seeks to break down stereotypes surrounding math and create an engaging environment where learning is enjoyable and accessible.
Participation in Expo 2025
Sachiko’s role as a Thematic Project Producer at Expo 2025 is another testament to her dedication to STEAM education. She aims to create interactive and inclusive experiences at the Playground of Life: Jellyfish Pavilion, where art meets science, allowing visitors to explore the joy of learning together.
Commitment to Gender Equality
Upon receiving the Power of Radiance Award, Ms. Nakajima expressed immense gratitude, stating that it will significantly empower her efforts in addressing the gender disparities prevalent in STEAM education globally.
