As thousands of teachers arrive at ExCeL London for BETT 2026, Samsung is showcasing how connected, AI‑enabled technology can make teaching easier and learning more inclusive. With over 35,000 educators attending this year, the company’s message is simple: technology should adapt to the learner – not the other way around.
A Practical Approach to Classroom Technology
Samsung’s theme, “Connected Learning for Every Mind,” reflects a growing need for classroom tools that genuinely support teachers. President Ben Yoon says the aim is to help teachers “set students up for success” through technology shaped by real school challenges – not standalone gadgets.
This year, Samsung has built a full mock classroom on its stand, giving educators the chance to see how devices work together in real teaching scenarios. The focus is on reducing workload, improving flexibility, and enabling more engaging lessons.
Tools Designed for Teachers
Richard Chang, Corporate VP of Samsung UK & Ireland’s Mobile Division, explains that today’s classrooms thrive when technology “simplifies lessons and collaboration.” Samsung’s ecosystem includes:
- Galaxy Book6 Series tablets and laptops for planning, content creation and hybrid learning.
- Galaxy XR, offering immersive experiences to bring subjects to life and help students explore content in new ways.
- Interactive displays such as the WEFX and Flip WMFX, featuring Circle to Search and AI Classroom Assistant to support lesson flow and classroom management.
These aren’t future concepts – they’re practical tools already being tested with UK educators.
Empowering Students: Solve for Tomorrow
Beyond classroom devices, Samsung is spotlighting its Solve for Tomorrow programme – available to all 11–18‑year‑olds across the UK. It gives students hands‑on experience using technology to address real‑world problems through design thinking, mentoring and creative problem‑solving.
For teachers looking to build digital skills, teamwork and innovation, Solve for Tomorrow offers a simple, free way to embed project‑based learning into school life.
The competition is open now until 1 February, with exciting prizes on offer, including Samsung tech, mentoring from industry experts and even the chance for winning ideas to be showcased publicly.
Long‑Term Commitment to UK Education
Samsung’s BETT 2026 presence reinforces its ongoing work with schools, trusts and colleges to deliver:
- Accessible technology for different learning needs
- Teacher‑friendly tools that reduce admin and complexity
- Scalable solutions that work across whole schools
- Future‑ready skills, supporting students’ digital and creative development
As AI becomes central to education, Samsung’s approach prioritises enhancing the human side of teaching – supporting insight, empathy and adaptability.
