Canfield High School advances in Samsung’s ‘Solve for Tomorrow’ contest, receives $2,500

Canfield High School has been named one of 300 State Finalists in the 13th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition, receiving a $2,500 prize package.

Solve for Tomorrow is a national competition that challenges U.S. public school students in grades 6-12 to explore the role science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) can play in solving some of the biggest issues in their local communities.



The competition engages students in active, hands-on learning that can be applied to real-world problems – making STEM more tangible and showcasing its value beyond the classroom.

Tom Slaven, teacher at Canfield High School, says, “Students realize the Youngstown Metropolitan Area is economically depressed and suffers from food insecurity. Our proposal is to focus on creation of an edible form of the thistle as a control measure, rather than costly and environmentally damaging removal.   We plan to develop a process for creating palatable items in the laboratory.  We would engage with the local university to test for safety and nutritional value of the created foods.”

50 State Winners will advance to the next phase of the competition and receive $20,000 in technology and supplies, as well as a video kit to help document their project in action. One will be chosen as the Sustainability Innovation Award Winner, receiving an additional $50,000 prize package of eco-conscious classroom technology.
