The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee has launched "Green Plus STEAM," a convergence environment-enhancing curriculum for seniors in elementary schools. The education is based on STEAM, which combines science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, and aims to help children explore environmental problems and future mobility and develop creative problem-solving capabilities. Professional instructors will visit elementary schools in person to educate them on the principles of climate change and energy transition, and students will directly implement eco-friendly technologies and future mobility concepts.
From March to May this year, the committee will conduct a pilot operation for students in the fifth and sixth grades of four elementary schools in the metropolitan area. During the pilot period, participating students will complete a total of three curriculum sessions and plan to expand the scope of education nationwide from the second half of the year. This program is a course that deepens the existing environmental education for lower grades, Green Plus Kids, and expands the age of education and increases the expertise of the content.
The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee was launched in 2014 along with Mercedes-Benz corporations and affiliates and 11 official dealers in Korea. Under the slogan "Mercedes-Benz's Promise," the committee is carrying out various social contribution activities such as "Mobile Kids" for children's traffic safety, "Mobile Academy," an industry-academic cooperation program, "All Together," an executive and employee participation type, and "Give," a donation-combining sports event. In September 2021, 'Green Plus' was introduced to practice carbon neutrality, focusing on climate action and environmental education.
Mercedes-Benz continues to make efforts to contribute to Korean society in the long term with the core value of social contribution activities in education. The launch of Green Plus STEAM is also part of a strategy to inform future generations of the importance of the environment and foster creative talent needed in the future mobility era. Detailed program information and application inquiries can be found on the official website.
