With over 7.3 million American children enrolled in special education (SPED) programs, the #SamsungSolve team from Delaware's Brandywine High School embarked on an inspiring mission to address the social interaction challenges faced by students with disabilities. To bridge this gap, they designed innovative board games that are accessible, incorporating engaging lights and sound. Their creative and inclusive games earned them the prestigious title of 2023-2024 Samsung Solve for Tomorrow National Winner, as well as the competition’s first-ever Rising Entrepreneurship Award, recognizing their ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit.  Samsung is incredibly proud to support and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of these young innovators, who are making a real difference in their community.
