It is no secret that Katie is a 3 time Olympian, a 21-time World Champion and a ten-time Olympian who is passionate about STEM. As part of IMPACT, Innovators for IMPACT will follow Katie along with a STEM student to meet Panasonic STEM specialists who are exploring innovative ways in which we can live and work now and in the future.
Katie Ledecky said that she would take any opportunity that she had to inspire educators and students to live more sustainably. The experience of exploring Panasonic's innovations at its global headquarters in Japan and then sharing that experience with educators and students was very exciting. It is important that we provide equal access to students in STEM education so that they can realize the impact they can have on the world, from solar power to smart mobility."
As part of the Innovators for IMPACT Virtual Field Trip, educators and students will be able to learn how Panasonic combines innovation and sustainability, equipping them with the knowledge they will need to live a more sustainable life. Participating in the program will allow educators and students to experience a virtual journey and learn about sustainable smart towns, re-energized solar power, 100% renewable energy, and smart mobility through fun and engaging activities.
In order to make a positive impact on society, Panasonic was founded as a company. In the past 100 years, we have lived by this mission, building products that enhance the quality of life for everyone. There is no doubt that the STEM Forward program is an excellent example of this effort, which illustrates how people are crucial to our success - including the students who will become the professionals of tomorrow," said Megan Myungwon Lee, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Panasonic Corporation of North America.. We are proud to continue our partnership with Katie Ledecky in order to show the next generation of educators and learners how they can use STEM to make a positive impact on the world in a positive way
