For more than 60 years, Samsung has raised the quality of life for people everywhere. As the world’s largest electronics company, we apply the same innovation, technology and resources that have driven our commercial success to advancing the education and health of children around the world through our global citizenship program, Samsung Hope for Children. It's one of the ways that Samsung uses innovation to support the development of people.
Through Samsung Hope for Children, our more than 50 subsidiaries and
180,000 employees worldwide partner with leading nonprofit organizations to effect positive
change.
By supplying Samsung products, lending our expertise and providing financial
support, we're able to give thousands of children in communities around the world access to
education, mentorship, leadership skills and life-saving medical treatment.
Samsung Hope for Children Solve for Tomorrow is a nationwide video contest that encourages students and teachers to share
the wonder of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) education. The contest is designed
to raise enthusiasm in these subjects by making them fun and interesting. The goal is to boost
STEM proficiency among U.S. children, ultimately strengthening the nation's future
competitiveness.We are partnering in this effort with several leading education non-profits,
including the National Environmental Education Foundation, as well as with leading technology
companies such as Microsoft and Direct TV.
Using Samsung technology in exciting new
ways, students created videos that answered the question, "How can science and math help improve
the environment in your community?" The top five winning classrooms won $1 million in Samsung
technologies, and educators began to recognize our deep commitment to improving STEM education
in the United States. In its first year, the contest received over 1,100 submissions and almost
350,000 votes from the public.
