Educational Outreach Program
OIST offers a variety of outreach projects to extend educational opportunities in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) to Okinawan elementary and high school students. Most of the projects are possible only with extramural funds from the Okinawa prefectural government and private donations. Your donation will enable OIST to introduce the excitement of sciences to Okinawan youth and help them to explore new learning and growth opportunities as the world we live in is being transformed by science and technology.
