Salesforce and a Programming Workshop

A programming workshop for preschoolers hosted by Salesforce. While
employees typically participate as facilitators,
President Kawahara also taught the children how to program the day before yesterday.

We’ve been collaborating with Salesforce on a STEM education project since last October.
Since their employees share insights about their own work and how programming is used in society, elementary school teachers have praised the program, noting that it serves not only as programming education but also as part of career education.
We’d like to further strengthen the system where IT companies provide on-site support for programming education.

Here’s a photo with President Kawahara and Ms. Endo, the “Salesforce goddess” who’s always been so helpful to us♪
And here are the employees who are participating as facilitators.
