Downers Grove South High School students Ted Dulles, Alan Kwak and Taran Sooranahalli, along with their teacher Brandy Palmerin, were named state winner for Illinois in the 2022-23 Samsung 'Solve for Tomorrow' contest. The competition challenges students to explore the role science, technology, engineering and mathematics can play in solving some of the world's most pressing issues. 'What I love most about this competition is that students use their passion for engineering to develop a STEM-based solution to help solve a pressing problem impacting our society,' Palmerin, Project Lead the Way teacher at Downers Grove South, said in a news release.
