Students reach semifinals of Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow Brasil

Students from various Brazilian public schools have reached the semifinals of the 13th edition of Solve for Tomorrow Brasil, a Samsung-led corporate citizenship program coordinated by Cenpec. The competition encourages the use of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to address real-world societal challenges.

In São Luís, Maranhão, a group of five high school students developed ‘CentroVivo: Plataforma Inteligente para Preservação Participativa do Patrimônio’. This digital solution aims to connect residents and visitors with the city’s historical heritage through features like community reporting, memory sharing, and gamification to encourage active preservation.

In São Paulo, four students from ETEC Zona Leste created ‘Vippela’, a digital security application. The app is designed to help families monitor internet usage among children and adolescents by combining parental controls with educational content on cybersecurity and scam prevention. The project incorporates ‘Zero Trust’ security principles to ensure continuous access verification.
