Over the past two months, at schools across Vietnam, the vibrant atmosphere of the program “Solve for Tomorrow on Tour - Spreading knowledge, Igniting creativity” has fueled students’ passion for technology at every “stop.” The enthusiastic participation of students created a dynamic picture, where students from both urban and rural areas came together to explore the world of STEM.
Bringing equal education opportunities to all students
Solve for Tomorrow on Tour is an activity within the framework of the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025 contest - an annual competition initiated by Samsung to encourage secondary and high school students to apply STEM knowledge to address social issues.
Aiming to popularize STEM knowledge, the Solve for Tomorrow on Tour 2025 journey, launched on April 26, served as the “first shot,” bringing the spirit of the contest to classrooms and inspiring students to prepare for their creative journey ahead.
The program turned schoolyards into colorful “laboratories.” At each destination from Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City to provinces such as Thai Nguyen, Quang Ninh, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Soc Trang, and Bac Lieu, students attended workshops, listened to experts’ insights on STEM and career orientation, and experienced technology such as programming and assembling robots. The excitement of programming and assembling a moving robot created a lively “learn and play” atmosphere
At Mao Khe 2 Secondary School in Quang Ninh, the classroom burst with energy when students first tried robot programming. Vu Viet Hoang, an 8th grader, shared: “I got to experience robot programming at the Solve for Tomorrow on Tour program. When our robot moved, the whole class applauded! I never thought I could create something like this. After this experience, I want to learn more about programming to join Solve for Tomorrow this year and try a project to help people in Quang Ninh.”
At Le Hong Phong High School in Phu Yen, 10th grader Nguyen Khai Huyen expressed excitement: “As a school far from major cities, we rarely get access to technology. This was my first time trying out robot models brought by the program—I felt like a real engineer. I hope more tech experience activities like this will be organized at schools in remote areas like ours.”
In the South, at Bac Lieu, Nguyen Tan Dat, an 11th grader at Gia Rai High School, said: “I really like the career orientation content that Samsung provided. Thanks to these practical insights, I’ve started shaping my future.”
So far, after more than a month of implementation, Solve for Tomorrow on Tour has reached 14 schools across 10 provinces, giving about 12,000 students access to STEM.
The program not only offers equal educational opportunities regardless of geography or economic conditions, but also provides authentic STEM experiences through practical activities, science experiments, and technology applications, sparking creativity and scientific curiosity in every student. It also serves as preparation for the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025 contest, where students can bring their ideas to life.
Praised for its impact, teacher Nguyen Thi Quyen from Le Hong Phong High School in Phu Yen noted: “The Samsung Solve for Tomorrow on Tour program has brought a fresh breeze. I’ve seen our students become less hesitant with technology, more confident, and ready to turn ideas into reality.”
Solve for Tomorrow 2025 is heating up
Alongside Solve for Tomorrow on Tour, Samsung also completed a series of Roadshows launching the competition in all three regions, demonstrating its efforts to popularize STEM and further nurture tech talent, one of the key foundations for national development in the future.
Currently, the number of entries submitted for the preliminary round of Solve for Tomorrow 2025 is rapidly increasing. Meanwhile, the online training course on Design Thinking 4.0, applying AI in the digital era—part of the contest framework, has also attracted enthusiastic participation from students across the country. The preliminary round will close on June 15, 2025.
It is expected that Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025 will draw around 160,000 students enrolling in the online course and 2,400 submissions from secondary and high schools nationwide.
“Training and nurturing talent is the most important challenge for any nation. In particular, developing technology talent is the key for a country to join the ranks of developed nations worldwide. Beyond economic contributions, Samsung hopes to enhance Vietnam’s fundamental competitiveness by cultivating tech talent, and more broadly, to help nurture the country’s future leaders.” - said Mr. Na Ki Hong, President of Samsung Vietnam.
He added: “We hope that students nationwide will continue to strengthen their knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, along with problem-solving skills, to become the core talent of the nation..
