Gulfport High School was selected as the State Winner for Mississippi in the 14th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow STEM Competition, according to a release. Each State Winner wins a package of $12,000 in technology for their school.
Gulfport High is developing a Solar Power Case, which is a portable utility case that would allow temporary power to a family in need as a result of severe weather events.
Ten national finalists will be selected in late-March and each awarded a $50,000 prize package. Then, in April, Solve for Tomorrow will name three schools as National Winners, each of which will receive $100,000 in prize packages consisting of Samsung tech and classroom supplies.
