With the aim of helping students discover their strengths and weaknesses to identify future career paths through knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, FabLab at Eastern International University (EIU) has collaborated with primary, secondary, and high schools in Binh Duong province over the years to organize STEM sessions for students across grade levels.
Building on past successes, for the 2024–2025 academic year, EIU continues its partnership with Viet Anh Primary and Secondary School (Viet Anh) to conduct STEM classes with diverse topics. Specifically, this morning (October 24), nearly 40 students from various grade levels at Viet Anh School visited EIU to participate in STEM sessions on the topics of App Programming and Exploring Humanoid Robots.

In each session, students learn progressively from foundational to advanced knowledge, transitioning from theory to practice. For the App Programming topic, Viet Anh students explored essential components in App Inventor, learned how to use features such as audio recording and playback, applied language translation tools, utilized buttons, labels, and text elements, and accessed documentation to understand unfamiliar components.
For the Exploring Humanoid Robots topic, students learned block-based programming to control Alpha, enabling it to perceive its environment, communicate, and perform interactive tasks.
