STEM Everyday #232 | Samsung's Solve for Tomorrow Contest | feat. Ann Woo & Kevin Lay

23 minutes

Each year Samsung hosts a $2 million national competition for public schools grades 6–12 in which students are asked to consider how science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) can be used to create change in their communities. 2022 marks the 13th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest, and with the help of their teachers, students can apply to the contest and compete to win up to $100,000 in prizes for their school, plus the opportunity to work with Samsung employees to develop their prototypes. And just by applying, teachers will receive free professional development opportunities from Samsung such as Teacher Academy and access to education platforms like Nepris.
To enter the contest, and for official contest rules, please visit samsung.com/solvefortomorrow. Registration begins in September 2022!
“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.

Kevin Lay is a Solve for Tomorrow alumni and STEM teacher at Allen D. Nease High School in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Before teaching at Allen D. Nease, Kevin taught sciences at Owensville High School in Missouri for 16 years. In 2019, Kevin and his students at Owensville High School were one of the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow National Winners.
