On March 22, EIU FabLab, in collaboration with Ho Chi Minh City General Science Library, organized a STEM experiential program for children in Ho Chi Minh City. The event marked the beginning of a series of activities featuring a wide range of topics, aimed at fostering scientific thinking among young participants.
Students control the robots to overcome simulated challenges
In the first session, themed “Exploring Robot Cars”, participants were not only introduced to theoretical knowledge but also engaged in hands-on activities. These included learning about the structure of robot cars, understanding their operating principles, and directly controlling robots to complete simulated challenges. These highly interactive experiences created a lively learning atmosphere, stimulating the children’s curiosity and spirit of exploration.

The STEM experiential program, jointly developed by Eastern International University and the Ho Chi Minh City General Sciences Library, consists of a series of six themes conducted over several months. The topics include Exploring Robot Cars, Exploring the Plastics Industry, Exploring Drones, Renewable Energy, Fiber Optics and Lasers, and Ocean Technology. Each theme has been carefully selected to reflect current trends in the development of science and technology.
With an intuitive and engaging approach, the program not only ignites students’ passion for science but also provides them with practical experiences, helping them better understand how technology works and how it is applied in real life. These experiences will provide an important foundation for them to make learning choices that best suit their interests and abilities in the future.
