The event had the participation of the First Lady of the Republic of Korea (RoK) - Kim Keon Hee; the President and Chief Executive Officer of Southeast Asia (SEA) - Jo Sang Ho; Vice President of Samsung Vietnam Complex - Kim Yong Sup; the Principal of Nam Tu Liem Secondary School - Hoang Thi Yen and more than 20 students.
Solve for Tomorrow organised by Samsung has created a creative thinking playground for students, which encourages them to apply STEM education - science, technology, engineering, and math - to address social issues such as environment, safety and sustainable development.
The programme was first initiated in the US in 2010, then expanded to 55 countries around the world, attracting about 2.4 million students and teachers.
Solve for Tomorrow was launched in Vietnam in 2019. In 2022, the competition attracted more than 70,000 middle and high school students nationwide.
With the desire to get closer to and attract more students, this year, for the first time, Samsung conducts a roadshow journey in the North, Central and South regions of Vietnam. It is expected that this year's participation and entry rates would double those of previous year.

Featured activities include providing high-quality online STEM courses that ensure face-to-face interaction between teachers and students; operating a team of senior professional advisors who are experts and employees of Samsung; and sponsoring a functional classroom – STEM Lab for the schools whose team won the first prize.
At the event, First Lady Kim Keon Hee visited the display area of models of the competition's first prize-winning teams in the last two years and spent time talking with students participating in the Solve for Tomorrow programme.
The First Lady said, “Korea always accompanies and supports students on the path to pursuing their dreams. Hopefully, through the programme 'Solve for Tomorrow', the students will become more mature, thereby contributing more to Vietnam and the world."
