JAKARTA - Samsung Electronics again presents Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2024, an educational program and competition based on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

This effort was made by Samsung to support young people in developing the best ideas to produce technological breakthroughs that can solve various problems in their community.

"There are still many real environmental, educational, and health issues in society and require innovative, creative, and appropriate solutions based on technology and AI," said Ennita Pramono, Samsung Electronics Indonesia Head of Corporate Citizenship, quoted on Sunday, June 2.

To expand the reach to more creative and innovative young people, this year the SFT is opened to two categories, namely the SMA, SMK, MA and equivalent categories and student categories (D3, D4, and S1), from any education department, as long as they are still active.

Each team consists of 2-4 participants and comes from the same school or college and each educational institution (school or campus) can register a maximum of 3 teams.

In the first phase, the 2024 SFT participants will receive Design Thinking training which will consist of four training sessions that will emphasize the search for solutions.

In the next stage, participants who pass the selection to the semifinals will receive AI skills training followed by a mentoring session that will be provided by professional experts both from Samsung and from operational partners for the 2024 SFT program.

Here, participants are required to realize the most innovative and creative AI-based ideas into concept papers, create pitch videos and are required to make a prototype project when they qualify for the semifinals.

The winners of this program will get prizes for products from Samsung with a value of IDR 170 million for the first place winner, IDR 75 million for the second place winner, IDR 30 million for the 3rd and IDR 23 million for the team that won the People Choice Award.
