Solve for Tomorrow 2023 intends to inspire and uncover the next generation of changemakers by encouraging secondary school students to think deeply about the social issues affecting their community and pioneer positive social change through technology and innovation.

Enabling People', the competition aims to equip students with the experience and mindset to unlock technology's potential. It also gives students a platform to explore their passion and nurture their social responsibility, allowing them to grow and thrive as a global citizen.

"We envision the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition as a catalyst to redefine youths' connection with technology, empowering them to transition from mere users to technology creators with the potential to positively impact our community and environment," said Dennis Jang, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore. "In a fast-evolving world, the interdisciplinary skills instilled in this competition - critical and design thinking, presentation and communications skills, as well as and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) knowledge, will definitely stand the students in good stead for their future."

Team Hearable, the winning team from the 2022 edition, shares their takeaways - "We are really thankful to Samsung for organising the competition, which encouraged us to apply knowledge from the classroom to solve problems in the real world," said team lead Christopher Angelo. "Our participation in Solve for Tomorrow 2022 not only expanded our horizons beyond classroom subjects but also honed our skillsets and deepened our STEM knowledge. We encourage our fellow students and aspiring inventors to join this transformative experience."
