Recently, Milford High School shared some great news of exciting work happening in one of the MHS Science classrooms, under the direction of one of our educators, Mr. Tim Walsh.

Mr. Walsh, and students Kingston Rowlands (MHS ‘27), Dylan Sparks (MHS ‘24), and Ian Wheelock (MHS ‘25) have been working on a Science, Technology, and Engineering project as part of the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest.  Mr. Walsh, Kingston, Dylan, and Ian have been collaborating over the past year on a science and engineering project, called “Creating an Adaptable Micropipette.”  The project aims to make the use of a micropipette tool in lab sciences more inclusive and accessible for people with range of motion challenges. Congratulations to the MHS team for identifying a real world challenge, designing a solution, and working to make the field of science more accessible and inclusive for all scientists! They engineered and submitted this project to the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest, and were awarded a $2,500 prize to be used for technology equipment and supplies in the classroom.  

The news only gets better!  Samsung has announced that this project has been selected as a State Winner in the 2024-2025 Solve for Tomorrow competition! The prize package Mr. Walsh, Kingston, and Dylan, and Ian were awarded on behalf of Milford High School now includes $12,000 worth of Samsung technology, and they are now eligible to compete to become one of ten National Finalists! 

As one of 50 State Winners from across the country, Milford High School is extremely proud of Mr. Walsh, Kingston Rowlands, Dylan Sparks, and Ian Wheelock on this exciting accomplishment!
