Launched in Vietnam in 2019, the Solve for Tomorrow competition is constantly innovating to encourage students to apply STEM ( science , technology, engineering, and mathematics) knowledge to solve real-world problems.

A breath of fresh air, bringing the entrepreneurial spirit.

In its sixth season, Solve for Tomorrow 2024 is generating excitement with its fresh approach, encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit among students.

The products of the competing teams must not only be high-tech solutions, but also need to be accompanied by a clear business plan to bring the product to consumers.

In this way, technology projects will have a development lifecycle that extends beyond the scope of the competition, allowing them to be scaled up and applied in practice.

At this year's final round, the students surprised everyone with outstanding technology projects, the result of their in-depth research and investigation to solve real-life problems, such as a system for monitoring and alerting children who fall asleep in cars.

Smart applications protect children and women from the risks of violence, abuse, and kidnapping; applications that warn of landslides and fires in the home…

These projects become even more useful when scaled up in practice, and Solve for Tomorrow is the bridge to a challenging journey: transforming these ideas into tangible technological solutions and bringing them to users.

Applying AI, IoT, etc., to elevate technology projects.

In fact, the projects that received high praise within the Solve for Tomorrow competition are the clearest evidence of the program's goals.

Ranked first in Group B (for high school students), the project "Smart Application for Warning of Dangerous Situations in Children and Women" by the Supernova team (Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted, Da Nang ) is a comprehensive solution that combines artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze situations, recognize sounds and voices to warn and automatically detect unusual dangers. This is also a superior feature of the project compared to existing products.

Meanwhile, the project "Application of Smart Technology for Breeding and Raising Rare Insect Species" won first prize in Group A (for junior high school students). The Small Warriors team (Him Lam Ethnic Boarding School, Hau Giang) applied IoT technology to create an egg incubator for water bugs and an automated system for raising water bugs and other insects commercially.

Simultaneously, the project also applies AI technology to create chatbots to accompany and connect scientists, farmers, businesses, and government agencies.

“The project applying smart technology in breeding and raising rare insects will contribute to sustainable agricultural development, help protect biodiversity, and create a source of nutritious, environmentally friendly food. This is an important step in promoting green agriculture and optimizing resources for the future.”

The message from the project by young people at Him Lam Ethnic Boarding High School not only impressed the judges but also showcased the talent of young Vietnamese people in creating and applying science and technology to serve life.

* Mr. Choi Joo Ho (General Director of Samsung Vietnam):

The role of Solve for Tomorrow in the new context of the times.

With the advent of the AI ​​era, humanity is undergoing a momentous turning point. Many scholars are engaging in lively discussions about the value and role of humans in the age of AI.

However, in this inevitable process of transformation, creative thinking and individual problem-solving abilities are increasingly being emphasized.

Countries around the world are constantly competing to improve these capabilities.

In this context, the Solve for Tomorrow program helps enhance students' creativity and social problem-solving skills. We hope to receive more attention and participation from the Vietnamese education sector so that the program can continue to develop further.
