The Samsung Semiconductor Science Academy started in 2013 and has since become one of Samsung Semiconductor’s key social commitments to the youth community. At the academy, we teach the basic principles of semiconductors to first-year middle school students and run lab activities with different kinds of science experiment kits. As students learn about semiconductors, they start to see science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) in a new light and become more interested in them.

In 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Samsung Semiconductor Science Academy was taken online — and by going online, we were able to meet even more students than before.

in the future.

The greatest reward in running the Samsung Semiconductor Science Academy is when students
who were not previously familiar with semiconductors or interested in the field discover that it’s actually fun and easy to learn.

Kim-Kyubo who’s in his first year at Dongtan Middle School took the Samsung Semiconductor Science Academy classes and had so much fun he recommended the program to his friends.

Park-Changwook who teaches at Dongtan Middle School also expressed his gratitude to us for running this educational program to allow students to learn more about semiconductors on an advanced level in a fun and easy to understand way.

“I won’t forget my first class with the Samsung Semiconductor Science Academy. It was assembling a mobile phone.
I had taken apart a mobile phone before, but this time it was great to know the name of the parts I hadn’t known about and
the see explanation for what they do in infographics, making it easy to understand. I thought semiconductors were limited in their use but now that I know that I can make almost anything with them, I’m really excited!"

- First-year student at Dongtan Middle School,
Kim-Kyubo

A message for his friends

Did you know that semiconductors are in almost everything we use in our daily lives? Knowing about semiconductors is
now a must, so let’s learn together!

“It was impressive to witness how these difficult subjects were made easy for the
level of first-year middle school students and
I could tell how much effort the
Samsung employees had put into the Samsung Semiconductor Science Academy. Thank you so much for providing such a
great opportunity for our students to get to know semiconductors better!”

Park-Changwook

But why did
Samsung Semiconductor
senior management
and employees willingly
volunteer their time
and
effort and even
donate science
kits
and expenses for first-year
middle school students?
