[Video] 2016 White House Science Fair

For the first time in six years, Samsung has the honor of having two Solve for Tomorrow (SFT) Contest winners participate in the annual White House Science Fair. These students from Horizon Middle School in Aurora, Colorado, and Mission Valley ROP/James Logan High School in Freemont, California, will be among the lucky students representing 40 other schools across the country.

Both schools are among the five national winners of the 2016 Solve for Tomorrow Contest.

During today’s event, Horizon Middle School students from Aurora, Colorado will present their design for comfortable, cost-effective prosthetic enhancements to aid veteran amputees in their community. The Mission Valley/James Logan High School students will display their solution to a transportation problem in the form of a fully-functional solar-powered electric vehicle charging station prototype.

In the sixth and final year of the science fair under the Obama Administration, students will showcase their ingenuity and knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects through their innovative projects and experiments designed to address some of the nation’s greatest challenges.

Beginning in 2010, the White House Science Fair has honored American student inventors by inviting them to showcase their amazing projects and discoveries that span everything and anything you can imagine from robots to rockets to protective polymers and catapults.
