Samsung Solve For Tomorrow Neuropod Arrives in Leeds
The Samsung initiative creates a platform for the nation's next generation of innovative, bright sparks!
As part of Samsung's Solve for Tomorrow award-winning initiative that empowers the next generation of visionaries through education, partnerships and technology, a free-to-use neurodiversity pod - to help neurodivergent people who may struggle with concentration and task completion - has been installed at Leeds City Colleague to help fuel creativity in the North, where recent research from Samsung reveals a strong desire to enter the tech industry.
According to Samsung research, people in the North East are less likely to be discouraged towards a tech career (27%), and a whopping 71% think it's an industry that young people want to get into.
Solve for Tomorrow invites 16-25-year-olds across the UK and Ireland to submit their ideas that address a problem within the area of Education, Sustainability, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, and Health & Wellbeing for the chance to take part in a series of workshops, receive invaluable mentorship from Samsung employees and industry experts, and win a coveted £10,000 top prize.
The interactive neurodiversity pod uses Samsung SmartThings technology to change the lighting setting to suit the needs of the user:
Blue - Encourages mind flow and attention
Orange - Promotes better focus and creativity
Green – Aids calmness, efficiency and concentration
The pod is located at the Printworks campus until 18th December, coinciding with the final day for Solve for Tomorrow competition entries.
Address: Leeds City College - Printworks Campus, Hunslet Road, Leeds, LS10 1JY
Opening times for the Campus - 8.30 am to 6.30 pm, Monday to Friday.
Closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
