The Design & Technology Association is proud to enter its second year supporting Samsung's Solve for Tomorrow competition.

Solve for Tomorrow is a free-to-enter, tech-for-good competition which empowers students aged 11-18 to solve real-world problems in one of three carefully selected design contexts. Its objective is to empower young people, regardless of their background, to develop the future-ready skills required not just for employment, but for modern life.

In this podcast, we are joined by Jessie Soohyun Park (Head of Corporate and Social Responsibility for Samsung Electronics UK), and Amanda Moffatt and Lucinda Holmes, Head of D&T and STEM, and Art and Design and Technology teacher at Alderman Peel High School in Norfolk.

Alderman Peel entered all Year 9 students in the competition last year, and a group of Lucinda's students not only made it to the final but also won overall in their age group.

This year, Solve for Tomorrow is timed to coincide with Green Careers Week, which is scheduled to run nationally from November 2nd to 6th. This week highlights sustainable career pathways, emerging green technologies, and eco-friendly skill sets for young people, teachers, and parents.

Whether you want to learn more about Solve for Tomorrow and enter your own students, or follow the journey of two experienced teachers who successfully immersed themselves and their students in last year's competition, this podcast has something for everyone.

So, sit back, relax and listen to Designed for Life - In Conversation discussing Samsung Solve for Tomorrow & Green Careers Week.
