Samsung Solve for Tomorrow: Community Engagement – Our CSR Superpower

About This Project

Summary

As a leading technology brand, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) is core to Samsung’s business. Our marquee CSR program, Solve for Tomorrow (SFT), challenges public middle and high school students to engage with their local communities, identify a pressing local issue, and use STEM to create solutions that make a difference. Amplified by Samsung’s digital marketing efforts and national/regional media placements, SFT energizes communities across the country to support STEM education.
