“Today, in the final round, after seeing the competing products of the teams, not only do I deeply feel the enthusiasm and creativity of the students, but I also see their determination to create a better future. I hope that all of us will give attention and support to young people so their creativity can develop into creative problem-solving. Samsung will also always be a companion of the young generation on this journey,” said Choi Joo Ho, President of Samsung Vietnam.
Solve for Tomorrow 2022 was launched in May 2022 for students from secondary and high school, aged 12 to 18, to encourage them to apply their STEM education knowledge related to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to surmount existing social problems.
After 6 months of implementation, the competition has attracted registrations from more than 75,000 students and teachers, and received 1,160 entries from many secondary and high schools across the country.
Throughout the competition, the students had the opportunity to participate in online training and coaching courses guided by a team of senior professional advisors who are experts and employees of Samsung, in order to improve their ability of creative thinking, idea drafting and scientific project presentation.
With a long-term commitment to development in Viet Nam, together with Solve for Tomorrow, Samsung has been trying to focus on training Viet Nam's future young generation through many other programmes such as the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) aiming to orient the young generation's education, providing IT knowledge from basic to advanced to help them have a solid technology foundation, thereby becoming more confident and being the key generation of the Industry 4.0; Project "S Hub sharing space" in HCM City, Ha Noi and Da Nang; “S Hub Kids – A Technology environment” for students who love STEM subjects; "Samsung Talent program" in co-operation with universities; and the Samsung Hope School Project bringing extracurricular learning opportunities to disadvantaged children. — VNS
