These semi-finalist schools will now go on to build their proposed STEM solution, competing to be one of 11 prize winning finalists to move to the final stage.
Eleven prize-winning finalists will be announced on or about Tuesday, March 22, 2016, with the chance to win one of two grand prizes of $50,000 in Samsung classroom technology grants and a visit from AsapSCIENCE.
