At Samsung, our citizenship mission is “Together for Tomorrow! Enabling People,” and we are committed to empowering future generations to harness technology for good. During the 2023–2024 school year, this mission came to life in Newberry, South Carolina, where Newberry High School earned the title of South Carolina State Winner in our Samsung Solve for Tomorrow national STEM competition, winning a $12,000 Samsung technology prize package for their school.
Samsung Solve for Tomorrow challenges public school students in grades 6–12 to apply STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) to address local community issues, and Newberry High School’s Career Lab students, led by special education teacher Heather Alexander, more than met that challenge. Their innovative project—a pollinator garden and compost system—not only tackled sustainability but also demonstrated the power of STEM to drive community change and inspire career exploration.
