The Samsung Smart School initiative has supported over 1.4 million students across 93 countries, and continues to grow
By providing a fun, interactive learning environment, Samsung is committed to improving the use of IT technology in education and reaching out to low income communities.
In collaboration with Samsung Smart School, Datuk Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor is sharing his inspiring story about how he found his path to becoming an astronaut
From the age of 7, Datuk Sheikh and his friends all had the same dream - to be astronauts. But as they became teenagers, his friends grew out of their shared dream. Eventually Datuk Sheikh was the last man standing. Why? Because science was difficult to learn, making the dream seem impossible.
But Datuk Sheikh persevered and did it anyway.
While Datuk Sheikh would go on to become Malaysia's first astronaut, his journey wasn't without ups and downs.
Datuk Sheikh inspired the nation when he took to the skies, proving that we can do anything we put our minds to

The programme is really cool and provides digital education solutions to make learning exciting for kids, as well as gives teachers an efficient way to reach these young minds.
