On the initiative and under the leadership of Samarkand2015, the project, called Coding 4 Fun, has quickly become a popular meeting place for young people in grades 6-8 who want to explore the world of technology. Through playful and engaging activities, children between the ages of 8 and 12 have the opportunity to develop their programming skills.
SBP has contributed technical expertise to this project through Rasmus Larsson, Head of Technical Development. Together with other partners, including Hitachi Energy and Ludvika Municipality, young people are offered a safe place for learning and creativity.
The first project began in March this year. Around 30 children took part over a period of just over two months, culminating in the young people finally getting to design and program their own Lego robots. During the fall, another training course began, which lasted for ten weeks.
SBP works to promote a sustainable society
Rasmus Larsson works actively with technical solutions in solar energy, energy storage, and other green technology at SBP, including through the energy management system and the Chargeflow platform, and sees it as a matter of course to share his knowledge with young people.
"Of course you want to get involved and help. What's the point of having knowledge if you don't do something good with it?" says Rasmus Larsson.
SBP sees this as a valuable initiative, not only to inspire the next generation of engineers and technicians, but also to promote a sustainable society through education and skills development.
Rasmus Larsson, together with the rest of SBP, sees great opportunities to positively influence society by supporting educational initiatives and youth engagement.
“Our company statutes have long stipulated that we always donate ten percent of our profits to charity in order to further highlight our commitment to sustainability, usually to environmental organizations, and our customers are also the biggest contributing factor in making this possible. But we also need to be present with our expertise in local communities to support the social aspect of sustainability, which is just as important. I am convinced that this will drive environmental and sustainability commitment forward to future generations," says Rasmus Larsson.
