2021 marks the 12th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest, which challenges U.S. students in grades 6–12 to use STEM to tackle local issues of national importance in a sustainable way. Now through November 15, 2021, public school teachers across the U.S. can apply for this year’s program and submit their activity plans that enable students to inspire real-world change to address critical issues in their communities using problem-based learning.
“We have seen the incredible projects that have emerged from the minds of students through this contest, and we cannot wait to see the ideas that come to life this year that will undoubtedly ignite lasting impact on communities while reducing our collective impact on the planet,” said Ann Woo, Senior Director of Corporate Citizenship at Samsung Electronics America. Samsung Solve for Tomorrow National Winner Jim Flemming also shares how the contest has impacted his students and his community.
The competition engages students in STEM education and problem-based learning to solve local issues of national importance.
For the past decade, Samsung has awarded $20 million in technology and classroom materials to more than 2,500 public schools in the United States. To enter the contest, and for official contest rules, please visit samsung.com/solve. The deadline to submit is 11:59 p.m. ET on November 15, 2021.
