Samsung's Solve For Tomorrow (SFT) competition is back for its sixth iteration, and all students aged 13 to 15 are invited to join!
Samsung SFT 2024 is a youth competition designed to inspire young minds to develop problem-solving skills and address challenges in their communities with the power of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
This initiative is a collaborative effort between Samsung Malaysia and Universiti Malaya to instill early interest and skills in STEM.
With the nationwide theme of 'Start with Can', Malaysian students from Form 1 to Form 3 are once again invited to identify local pressing issues and create innovative solutions with STEM to make a positive change.
Here's the exciting part — participants will stand a chance to win their share of RM80,000 in technology and classroom supplies, woah!
Here's how to participate in Samsung SFT 2024:
First, you'll need to gather a team of three and showcase your innovative ideas and address real-world problems using STEM principles in an 800-word submission. Entries will be evaluated by Samsung Malaysia and Universiti Malaya based on various criteria such as issue relevance, creativity, feasibility, STEM application, and presentation of innovative solutions.
The top 10 teams will advance to the next round, where they will enhance and present their ideas.
Shortlisted entries for the Samsung SFT 2024 competition will be revealed on the programme's website in October 2024. Selected participants will benefit from mentorship and guidance to refine their ideas and develop prototypes during a Design to Win Workshop.
Finally, in December, winners will be determined through a competitive pitching process.
Registration for Samsung SFT 2024 is now open, and participants have until 16 September to submit their entries
"We welcome all Malaysian youth innovators to break through language barriers and showcase their creativity in this competition. We have full faith that these young minds can change the world," shared Ir Dr Mas Sahidayana Mohktar, Director of Universiti Malaya's STEM Centre.
