On the campus of Phan Boi Chau - Nam Dong High School (Lam Dong province), the STEM practice room is located in the central area of the school, with an area of about 80m², creating a modern learning space, helping students and teachers access new teaching methods associated with science - technology and innovation.
Mr. Vuong Xuan Trung - Principal of Phan Boi Chau - Nam Dong High School (Lam Dong province) affirmed that being selected by the Department of Education and Training to invest in a STEM practice room is a valuable opportunity for the school, which still has many limitations in terms of facilities and modern teaching equipment.
Not only at Phan Boi Chau - Nam Dong High School in Hanoi, after just over a month of operation, the STEM practical education room at Tay Mo 3 Secondary School (Tay Mo Ward, Hanoi) - a project sponsored by the Vietnam National Industry and Energy Group ( Petrovietnam ) - has quickly had many exciting activities, a breakthrough in education associated with practice.
Although it has only been established for more than a year, since its early days of operation, Tay Mo 3 Secondary School has paid special attention to the development of STEM education, from the formation of the first classes to the cooperation with businesses to build STEM classrooms. However, the development of STEM practical education at the school still faces many obstacles due to limited learning space, lack of equipment and lack of uniformity. September 29, 2025 marked an important turning point for teachers and students of the school. Responding to the Petrovietnam STEM Innovation Program launched by General Secretary To Lam, Petrovietnam accompanied the authorities at all levels to inaugurate the STEM practical education room at Tay Mo 3 Secondary School. This is a timely and timely companionship and support, in line with the modern educational orientation that the school is aiming for.
With modern facilities and practical teaching methods, STEM classes not only arouse students' interest, but also maximize their effectiveness, supporting them to participate in creative competitions and Robotics competitions. The "heat" of the STEM practical education room continues to spread, contributing to nurturing their passion for science and technology and guiding them to become global citizens.
Thanks to this support, the STEM practical education room has been comprehensively upgraded - from facilities, robot models, computers, programming equipment to teaching approaches. Not only are students excited to directly learn and create in a high-tech environment, the teaching staff is also extremely excited and proud to have access to an advanced educational program, focusing on students, combining theory with practice, aiming to train future global citizens.
After just over a month of operation, the STEM practical education room has been "utilized" to its maximum capacity by the school, teachers and students, becoming a vibrant, creative and effective learning space. In particular, two student teams from the school have been selected to participate in Robotics tournaments, including VEX Robotics - a prestigious playground for young talents in the fields of programming and technology. The STEM practical education room is considered a "launching pad" to help students realize their ideas and nurture their creative aspirations.
Ms. Vu Thi Thin - Principal of Tay Mo 3 Secondary School emphasized that the companionship of Petrovietnam has brought teachers and students of Tay Mo 3 Secondary School a big step forward in the journey of approaching modern education. From small classrooms, the school now has a complete STEM space - where students can freely create, turning ideas into real products. The school will continue to promote the effectiveness of this model, arousing passion for science and technology and nurturing a generation of dynamic students, confident in international integration.
Not only students, the school's teaching staff will also be trained in STEM teaching skills and expertise, especially teachers in the Natural Sciences group. Ms. Truong Thi Hong Nhung - Head of the Natural Sciences group, in charge of the STEM practical education room at Tay Mo 3 Secondary School shared: "In the coming time, the school will continue to implement teaching activities to develop the STEM practical education room for all students from grades 6 to 9. We not only organize regular classes but also encourage students to participate in national Robotics competitions and further international competitions. At the same time, the teaching staff is also trained intensively to have both teaching capacity and the ability to take on the role of referee at major STEM playgrounds."
At Cau Giay Secondary School, Hanoi, the STEM classrooms in the “STEM Innovation Petrovietnam” Program implemented by the Vietnam National Energy and Industry Group (Petrovietnam) are equipped with modern computer systems, robot models, experimental equipment and synchronous programming software. Each learning corner is designed to be open, allowing students to easily move, discuss and work in groups.
On Friday mornings, the STEM Innovation 57 practical education room of Cau Giay Secondary School was filled with laughter. Each study corner was designed to be open, allowing students to easily move, discuss and work in groups. “I find this STEM room to be a very useful place, helping us develop our intelligence and thinking ability. Here, I get to practice many interesting things, learn how to be creative and work in groups,” said Bui Viet Hoang, a student of class 6A5.
Besides, Nguyen Kieu Minh, class 6A11, added: “This classroom is very modern, helping us understand more about scientific applications in life. I am most impressed by the smart arrangement of equipment, convenient for learning and practice.” Nguyen Le Duc Trong, also class 6A11, confided: “I feel very happy when my school received a new STEM room. The room is fully equipped with modern equipment, helping us practice thinking and creativity. I hope the tables and chairs in the room can be more flexible to facilitate group discussions.”
Those innocent words are enough to show the attraction of the new room - where each lesson becomes a journey of discovery, arousing the passion for science in each student.
Proactively invest in future generations
On September 21, 2025, General Secretary To Lam, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Petrovietnam Le Manh Hung performed the launching ceremony of the "STEM Innovation Petrovietnam" program under the witness of many leaders of the Party, State, and Petrovietnam.
The launch of the Petrovietnam STEM Innovation Program took place right after the Politburo issued Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in education and training development, reflecting Petrovietnam's initiative and responsibility in implementing social security activities, while concretizing the Prime Minister's orientation of considering education as the top national policy, deciding the future of the nation.
Petrovietnam's STEM labs are designed according to the "speed - standardization - sustainability" model, with a modern equipment system that provides an intuitive and creative learning space for students.
With a total budget of 500 billion VND from the social security fund of the Group and its member units, the program aims to build 100 international standard STEM practice rooms by 2025, aiming to create a modern educational ecosystem where students across the country can study, create and connect on the same technology platform.
The STEM rooms are designed according to the “lightning-speed - standardization - sustainability” model, fully equipped with advanced equipment such as smart interactive boards, AI - IoT systems, Robotics VEX, 3D printers, CNC cutting machines and experimental sets on the topic of energy - environment. The model is standardized according to FabLab, NGSS, ISTE, CSTA standards and the 2018 general education program.
Talking about this initiative, National Assembly Deputy Nguyen Duy Thanh (Ca Mau Delegation) said that investing in STEM is investing in “knowledge energy” – the foundation of sustainable development. This is a testament to the way the Group implements its social responsibility in a practical way, not only creating large energy projects but also nurturing people – the decisive factor for the future of the industry and the country.
“For Ca Mau – where Petrovietnam has been involved for more than two decades, this program has special significance. It helps nurture local technical human resources, creating the premise for a high-quality workforce, serving the local energy, industrial and service projects in the future,” Mr. Thanh said, adding that the STEM practice rooms will be a bridge to help Ca Mau youth catch up with the 4.0 Industrial Revolution, opening up career opportunities in the fields of clean energy, LNG, automation, artificial intelligence and digital technology.
“That is how Petrovietnam shows its commitment to accompany the locality – not only through projects, but also through people and knowledge,” – delegate Nguyen Duy Thanh affirmed.
In my opinion, Petrovietnam’s initiative “100 STEM Innovation Labs in 100 Days” is very meaningful, demonstrating the strategic vision and social responsibility of a leading state-owned enterprise. In the context of digital transformation and green transformation becoming inevitable trends, investing in STEM education – that is, training students with capacity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics – is investing in the future of the country.
It is worth noting that this program does not stop at supporting facilities, but also aims to create a creative learning environment where students can practice, experience and nurture their passion for scientific discovery. This is a modern approach, connecting schools - businesses - society, contributing to the formation of young people with innovative thinking, problem-solving ability, and quick adaptation to technology and the new labor market.
Petrovietnam's initiative also sends a strong message: State-owned enterprises not only play a leading role in economic development, but are also pioneers in implementing social goals, especially in the fields of education and human development - key factors of all sustainable development.
I highly appreciate this initiative of Petrovietnam. This is not only a simple social activity, but also a symbol of the spirit of “National Enterprise - For the national interest” in the period when the country is promoting digital transformation, innovation and knowledge-based economic development.
Petrovietnam has chosen to invest in education and knowledge, a field that seems far from industrial and energy activities, but has extremely profound meaning. Because in the digital age, human resources, especially STEM human resources, are the soft infrastructure of the country, the foundation for Vietnam to move faster on the path of industrialization and modernization.
