Educate Our Future: Academica Nevada Charter Schools

Celebrating an incredible achievement by the students of Doral Academy of Northern Nevada! 🎉

After turning a real community challenge into an innovative solution, these talented students were named National Winners in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition, earning a $100,000 prize package to support future STEM learning.

We are proud of their creativity, leadership, and commitment to making a difference. Congratulations to the students, educators, and families of Doral Academy of Northern Nevada on this outstanding accomplishment! 👏

These sixth graders from Doral Academy in Reno missed a week of school because of the Davis Fire, and that inspired their project harnessing AI to help with wildfire detection and evacuations.

Their innovation earned them first place at the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition! I’m so proud of these students and am glad I had the chance to welcome them to my Senate office.
