DETROIT – A charter school in southwest Detroit is getting some national attention after being named a semi-finalist in the $2 million Samsung Solve For Tomorrow STEM competition.
The Hope of Detroit Academy is the only school in Michigan to make it to the semi-finals and will receive $15,000.
“I started bawling uncontrollably because I was so happy,” teacher Allie Langwald said of her initial reaction when she heard the news. “This is the biggest thing I’ve ever applied for, the biggest thing my school’s ever done and I don’t think people are going to understand how much this means to my kids.”
