In 2009, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of its social contribution activities, Sony launched the Sony Science Program, a series of workshops for children that brings together the best of the Company's science education initiatives from the past half-century and adds new workshops developed by Sony employees. The employees themselves support the workshop as the lecturers, and help children to experience the joy and wonder of science.

The mission of Sony Education Foundation is to stimulate curiosity and creativity in children through science, thereby helping them into grow into adults with the courage to meet new challenges.

Of the four activities currently undertaken by the Foundation, the Sony Science Education Program for Children is at the heart of the Foundation's original mission when the Foundation was first established in 1959 as the Sony Fund for the Promotion of Science Education in Japan. The aim of this continuing program is to promote science education through educational grants. Primary and junior high schools are invited to submit papers on educational planning and practice relating to the theme of fostering children with enquiring attitudes and an appreciation for the sciences. The best submissions are selected for awards and educational grants. To date, over 10,000 schools have submitted papers, and approximately 5,000 have received awards.

The Sony Education Foundation also regards fostering children to develop enquiring and scientific attitudes in early childhood as an important priority, and since 2002 has implemented the Sony Preschool Education Program for Children. Educational support activities under this program target children aged three to five. In addition to providing support for kindergarten and nursery school teachers throughout Japan, the Foundation also seeks to promote activities by presenting successful initiatives on the program's website.

The Sony Science Teachers Association (SSTA) is a voluntary organization of approximately 1,900 teachers working in primary and junior high schools throughout Japan. Its purpose is to support research and training activities. Since FY05, the Sony Education Foundation has started the Wellspring of Science Inspiration---Children's Schoolhouse of Dreams, based on direct participation by children. In FY07 it launched the Sony Mono-Zukuri Workshop and began to participate in exchange activities with educational organizations in other countries.
