Innovators stand apart from others through their distinctive thinking, problem-solving, and action approach. They are constantly driven by the urge to explore and disrupt conventional norms. But when the innovators’ mind is combined with the right support and mentorship, they can turn their ideas into reality. So, here we are, to satiate this urge for innovation with the third edition of Samsung’s flagship CSR initiative, ‘Solve for Tomorrow,’. Let’s know more about what’s new this year:
For the first time, ‘Solve for Tomorrow’ includes a ‘school track’ specifically for students aged 14-17. This track, alongside the existing ‘youth track’ for college students aged 18-22, allows younger participants to present their innovative ideas. The school track was introduced in response to overwhelming interest from school students, enabling them to participate under the theme of ‘community and inclusion.’ ‘Community Champion,’ the winning team of School Track, will receive INR 25 Lakh grant for prototype advancement.
This edition also debuts the first-ever design thinking workshops for young school students. These workshops focus on enhancing soft skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, probing, and creativity using the Human-Centered Design Thinking framework. This unique module encourages participants to “think like a designer” by emphasizing human values, radical collaboration, visualization, action-oriented bias, deferring judgments, and embracing experimentation.
Key features of this module include:
Participants will navigate through the following stages:
By participating in this year’s ‘Solve for Tomorrow,’ young innovators will not only get access to hone their skills but also contribute to meaningfully to the society. So, what are you waiting for?
