Samsung Solve for Tomorrow

DESCRIPTION

Solve for Tomorrow is a contest where middle and high school teachers lead a class of students in the creation of a solution that addresses a need in their community using Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). 

The contest challenges students in grades 6-12 to show how STEAM can be applied to help improve their local communities. Selected finalist schools will receive a prize throughout the contest.

As an example, one of the winning teams last year came up with a solution help low-income students in Brooklyn, NY who do not have the funds to eat a meal at night.  Another winning team in Arizona created an animal crossing detection system to help prevent motor vehicle accidents and fatalities in their community. The third winning team from Gering, Nebraska developed an alternate herbicide spraying system using drones in an effort to improve water quality and minimize chemicals in food supply. 

Contest applicants will have a chance to win a share of $2 million in Samsung technology for their school throughout the competition. More details (including rules) on Solve for Tomorrow contest appear here: www.samsung.com/solve
