With the aim of helping students identify their strengths and weaknesses to determine suitable career orientations in the future through knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), over the years, the FabLab of Eastern International University (EIU) has collaborated with primary, secondary, and high schools across Binh Duong province to deliver STEM education to students at various levels.
Building upon these achievements, in the 2024–2025 academic year, EIU continues its partnership with Viet Anh Primary and Secondary School to organize STEM classes for students of different grades with diverse topics. Specifically, this morning (October 24), nearly 40 students from Viet Anh visited EIU to participate in STEM sessions themed App Programming and Humanoid Robot Exploration.
Students learn about programming Alpha in the Humanoid Robot Exploration class.
In each topic, students learned knowledge ranging from basic to advanced levels, covering both theory and practice. Specifically, in the App Programming topic, Viet Anh students explored the basic components in App Inventor, how to use the recording and audio playback features, how to utilize the language translation component, methods to use buttons, labels, and text, as well as how to refer to App Inventor’s documentation to look up the functions of unfamiliar components.
In the Humanoid Robot Exploration topic, students learned how to program and control the Alpha robot using drag-and-drop programming blocks. They also discovered how Alpha senses its surroundings, how to communicate and interact with Alpha, among other engaging activities during the STEM class this morning.

According to the 2024–2025 academic year curriculum framework, in the coming time, EIU will continue to accompany primary, secondary, and high schools across Binh Duong province to organize STEM classes for students at various grade levels with different topics, such as: Automation and Robotics; Robotic Arms in Manufacturing; Exploring Robot Cars; Plastic Engineering; Process Engineering; Optical Fiber and Laser; among others.
