How does it work?

Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is a free, award-winning innovation programme and national competition for 11-18-year-olds at secondary schools and colleges across the UK and Ireland.

Students (on their own, or in teams of up to four) create a tech-for-good idea in one of three categories:

  • Smarter Sport – Tech that makes sport more fun, inclusive and helps everyone perform at their best.
  • Greener Future – Tech that protects our planet and helps us live more sustainable lives.
  • Safer Online – Tech that keeps us connected, confident and in control.

The resources have been designed to be delivered flexibly to support your students’ needs.

  • Run over several form-time sessions
  • Deliver in 1–2 lessons​
  • Use as an enrichment activity or STEM day
  • Set the challenge in assembly and complete at home
