Company Overview

Message from the CEO

【Our Founding Purpose】
Our ultimate goal is to create an environment where students can directly apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired through their academic studies to real-world careers.
As a student myself, I struggled with how to utilize what I was learning in society, and through that experience, I came to realize that many students face the same challenge.
This company was founded to change the current reality in which academic learning often fails to connect meaningfully with the professional world.

【Our Philosophy】
At Crave Stone, we provide a space where students—whose primary focus is academics—can come together to share ideas, deepen their research, and turn the results of their efforts into real-world work.
We aim to create a self-sustaining cycle in which students expand their learning, continue their research, and connect their results to new professional opportunities.

Our company name, Crave Stone, combines “Crave”—a strong desire to learn—with “Stone”, representing raw potential.
It reflects our hope that young people with a thirst for knowledge will gather here as unpolished gems, learn and cultivate their skills, and ultimately shine. This vision lies at the very heart of our mission.

【Looking Ahead】
As the founder and a current university student myself, I believe it is vital to approach today’s challenges from a student’s real-time perspective.
We have built a system that provides full support—from learning and research to development—so that students can hone their skills and bring products to life, ultimately creating new forms of work.

While upholding our ideals, we have also established a sustainable business structure.
We aim to directly support students’ sincere desire to turn their learning into careers, and to provide an environment where they can grow into next-generation leaders who contribute to society.

To expand this mission even further, we are working to build an inclusive, multilingual environment that embraces diversity and supports adaptation to an increasingly global society.

At Crave Stone, we will continue developing new business models that empower students to apply what they’ve learned to the real world and thrive.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and partnership.

What is STEM Education?

STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning that integrates the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—from which the acronym STEM is derived.

Why Is STEM Education Important?

• Adapting to Technological Advancement
  STEM education provides a foundation for acquiring new skills and adapting to rapidly evolving technologies.
• Developing Problem-Solving Skills
  It nurtures children’s ability to generate creative ideas and tackle challenges—skills essential for thriving in the future.
• Expanding Future Opportunities
  Professionals with expertise in fields like science, programming, engineering, and data science will continue to be in high demand, giving individuals more options to find careers that suit their strengths and interests.
• Enhancing Global Competitiveness
  Countries around the world are investing heavily in STEM education and research to drive economic growth—particularly in the development of AI talent.
• Improving IT Literacy
  By strengthening IT literacy, students learn how to search, assess, and interpret vast amounts of online information—and to think critically rather than accepting information at face value.

STEM education is not only a path to acquiring the essential skills and knowledge needed in today’s society—it also empowers individuals to shape their own futures and make meaningful contributions to the advancement of society as a whole.

Educational Approaches Derived from STEM

• STEAM Education
  STEAM is an educational approach that adds the elements of Arts and Liberal Studies to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
  It fosters creative expression and design thinking, helping students generate ideas and expand their methods for solving problems.
• STREAM Education
  STREAM integrates Reading or Robotics into the STEAM framework. Students engage in cross-disciplinary learning through processes such as designing, building, and programming robots to test their ideas.
  This approach enhances creativity and imagination through hands-on experiences.
• eSTEM Education
  eSTEM incorporates concepts of environmental education into STEM.
  The term “environment” here includes not only the natural world, but also industrial, social, everyday, and IT environments.
  Rather than focusing solely on technological advancement, eSTEM emphasizes awareness of environmental issues and social challenges, empowering learners to help shape a more sustainable future.
• GEMS (Girls into Engineering, Math & Science)
  GEMS is a program designed to support and encourage female participation in STEM fields.
  Even on a global scale, examples of women thriving in STEM careers remain limited. GEMS aims to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment by creating more opportunities for girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

A Country Leading the Way in STEM Education：

◎The Case of Singapore

Singapore, a city-state with a population of over 5 million living within an area roughly the size of Tokyo’s 23 wards, lacks natural resources. Recognizing that the cultivation of human capital is essential for sustainable national development, the country has made education a top priority in its policy agenda.

This commitment is clearly reflected in its national budget. In fiscal year 2022, approximately 13% of the total budget was allocated to education—the second-largest expenditure after defense.

In the field of STEM education, Singapore is home to STEM Inc., an organization made up of experts with advanced degrees (Master’s and PhDs) in STEM disciplines. This group works in close collaboration with schools to offer hands-on, real-world learning experiences that go beyond textbook instruction.

Rather than relying solely on structured teaching kits and formal tools, classrooms across the country encourage students to make use of everyday objects to form hypotheses, observe, and verify outcomes. Through this process, students gain a deeper understanding of how the knowledge and skills they acquire are applied in society.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated not only to advancing STEM education, but also to promoting research and technical development, helping individuals enhance their skills, and nurturing exceptional talent.
Our aim is to pass on specialized knowledge and expertise to the next generation, ensuring a continuous cycle of growth and innovation.

   As science and technology continue to evolve at an accelerated pace, the demand for STEM professionals is growing rapidly.
2. Developing Problem-Solving Skills
   STEM education fosters logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and creativity—making it an ideal approach to learning in the modern age.
3. Preparing for the Future
   It equips students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset they need to succeed in the society of the future.
4. Enhancing Global Competitiveness
   In today’s globalized world, STEM education is a key factor in strengthening international competitiveness.

Key Features of Our New Approach to Education

1. Practical Curriculum
   In addition to theoretical knowledge, students engage with hands-on tasks that foster critical thinking, real-world application, and creativity.
2. Incorporation of Cutting-Edge Technologies
   We integrate the latest technologies—such as VR, AR, and AI—into our programs to make learning both enjoyable and effective.
3. Global Perspective
   Our goal is to nurture individuals who can contribute to solving global issues by cultivating an international mindset.
4. Community-Based Learning
   Through interaction with peers and instructors, students build a collaborative learning community where they support and inspire one another.

Future Outlook

1. Enhancing Curriculum Content
   We will continue to develop and deliver curricula that respond to the latest technologies and evolving societal needs.
