Fifteen schools named as finalists in Samsung’s $1 Million Solve for Tomorrow Contest

Fifteen public schools from across the country have won $40,000 in technology as finalists in Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow contest, a national competition to raise enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

Three grand prize winners will be chosen by a panel of judges; a fourth will be chosen by Samsung employees; and a fifth, the Community Choice Award winner, will be determined by public online voting. The grand prize winners, who will be announced at the South by Southwest Interactive Conference in March, are invited to a special awards ceremony on April 17 in Washington, D.C.

Online voting for the Community Choice winner is open until 11:59 p.m. EST, March 4, 2013 at www.samsung.com/solvefortomorrow and the Samsung Facebook Solve tab at www.facebook.com/SamsungUSA.
