Dr Joel Rindelaub: Scientist and Samsung Solve for Tomorrow judge champions importance of STEAM

Celebrity scientist Dr Joel Rindelaub looks forward to hearing solutions posed by bright young Kiwis in a new competition. Dr Rindelaub and Associate Professor Siouxsie Wiles are on the judging panel of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2023, a challenge open to school years 5 to 10. Dr Rindelaub has been championing the importance of STEAM (science, technology, English, arts and maths), claiming these subjects teach students independence, creativity and useful skills. "What the Solve for Tomorrow competition is trying to do is basically have these incentives to create an idea, try to solve a problem. It's like a nationwide science fair."
