Sachiko Nakajima is Recipient of Clé de Peau Beauté’s Power of Radiance Awards 2025

Clé de Peau Beauté, a luxury skincare and makeup brand, has named Sachiko Nakajima the recipient of the Power of Radiance Awards 2025 for her efforts in advancing STEAM education.

“It is an honor to receive Clé de Peau Beauté’s Power of Radiance Award, which has been instrumental in empowering the next generation of girls and addressing the gender disparity in STEAM education around the world,” said Nakajima.

Nakajima first made her mark in STEAM as the first Japanese woman to win a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad during high school. A jazz pianist, she also leads Kurage Band Vida: Concerto of Five Senses – a group of musicians bringing STEAM to life through the five senses. Her experiences in STEAM led her to found steAm, Inc. in 2017, an organization dedicated to providing STEAM education and unlocking the creative potential in everyone.

As the recipient of the Power of Radiance Awards 2025, Nakajima will receive a grant that will bolster her efforts and extend the impact of her work and mission to inspire girls and women to spur on their interest in STEAM fields.

This includes her engagement with The Asia Foundation, where she is working on the “STEM ConnectHER” project. This initiative aims to build a regional network of women in STEM fields across the Asia-Pacific region, providing mentorship and support to university students and professionals.

Additionally, Nakajima is actively engaged with “Suri-Joshi,” a program that organizes workshops and creates online content to encourage girls and their mothers to explore the joys of mathematics. The initiative aims to break down stereotypes and make math more accessible and enjoyable for young women, particularly in regions where female role models in STEM are scarce.
