Mobile application courses
In addition to the Samsung Mobile App Academy in ten cities, Samsung will provide online resources for STEM teachers interested in spearheading mobile application courses throughout the school year. Samsung’s program will be offered through Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education and media company. The Samsung Mobile App Academies have already helped transform hundreds of top-performing high school students into app-conceptualizing experts over the past two years. In 2013, Jeffrey Hong, a twelfth grader at Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, TX, received a $20,000 scholarship for his Dash’corder application which transforms a smartphone into a dashboard camera, keeping the community safe by promoting best driving practices.
