STEM education 'awakens' scientific thinking in students.

From experiential learning classes to technology playgrounds, STEM education is gradually spreading in Tay Ninh schools. Not only does it create enthusiasm for learning, but these practical activities also contribute to fostering scientific thinking, creativity, and digital skills in students in the era of digital transformation.

"Awakening" the scientific and creative spirit in students.

Students experience a waste sorting robot model, gaining access to environmental protection messages through technology.

In the bustling atmosphere of the final days of the school year at Pham Hung Primary School in Long Hoa Ward, continuous cheers echoed around the technology playgrounds during the "Creative Science Experience - Digital Transformation with Ichi" program, jointly organized by Ichi Skill Education and Technology Joint Stock Company.

In the schoolyard, many students intently control robot models, guiding them through various obstacles. In the waste sorting robot area, the students anxiously watch each robot's action as it performs the sorting task, thereby engaging with the message of environmental protection in a more visual and relatable way.

Next to it, the robot soccer playground became lively with exciting "competitions." Every time a robot scored a goal or unexpectedly changed direction, students and teachers cheered enthusiastically. Meanwhile, the robots conquering the race track captivated the children with their sudden accelerations and the thrill of overcoming each challenge.

Beyond simply observing, students directly interact with technology through the game "Mobile Chess with Integrated Digital Skills." To move a chess piece, they must use a QR code scanner, answer a question, and then continue their turn. These simple actions help students begin to develop logical thinking and skills in applying digital technology to their learning.

At the "Smart Digital Canteen" booth, many students enjoyed experiencing digital payment methods as an alternative to traditional shopping. The ability to independently process payments, select products, and manage their money on electronic devices gave them a novel and familiar feeling, connecting them to a modern technological environment.

Through a series of hands-on experiential activities, science and technology are no longer dry concepts from textbooks but become more vibrant and accessible to students. From robot models and technology games to interactive digital activities, many children begin to develop an interest in science and confidently explore technology from the elementary school level.

From the perspective of businesses partnering with schools, Ms. Thai Thi Nhu Y, Business Director of Ichi Skill Education and Science Technology Joint Stock Company, believes that implementing the educational reform orientation in accordance with Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo on the development of science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation, many STEM education activities in Tay Ninh are contributing to fostering scientific thinking, creativity, and the ability to apply technology in students. Through programs such as Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital citizenship skills, or technology experiences at school designed in a "learning through play - playing through learning" approach, students can access modern technology in a visual, lively, and highly interactive way.

Not only at the primary school level, but many secondary schools in Tay Ninh province are also promoting STEM education activities linked to hands-on practice and experience. From classroom lessons to science playgrounds, Drone Soccer competitions, or engineering innovation contests, students are able to directly explore technology in many lively and engaging ways.

Ms. Le Thi Huong, Principal of Nguyen Van Troi Junior High School, stated that STEM education is one of the key focuses in the school's development orientation. Through experiential activities, students not only access knowledge in a lively way but also develop teamwork skills, creative thinking, and adaptability. According to Ms. Huong, the achieved results demonstrate the active attention and support from all levels, sectors, and localities in the process of educational reform. Most importantly, students are becoming more proactive in their learning, boldly exploring science and technology, and developing a creative spirit from an early age, thereby creating a foundation for them to adapt to future learning and working environments.

Creating breakthroughs in education.

Local leaders, school representatives, and Ichi Skill Company introduced the "Smart Digital Cafeteria" model, helping students access digital payment methods in the school environment.

Beyond just STEM experiential activities in schools, Tay Ninh is gradually building an education system linked to science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, in accordance with Resolution 71-NQ/TW.

According to Mr. Doan Trung Kien, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Tay Ninh province, the locality identifies education and training as one of the key areas to promote the development of high-quality human resources, meeting the requirements of digital transformation and integration in the new era. Therefore, the province focuses on implementing many solutions to innovate education in a modern, practical direction and strongly apply science and technology. One of the key tasks prioritized by the province is to promote digital transformation in the education sector; build a shared database system, digital schools, smart classrooms, and a modern education management platform. Tay Ninh is also gradually implementing models applying artificial intelligence (AI), digital learning materials, and smart technologies in teaching, contributing to improving the quality of teaching and learning.

The province prioritizes the development of STEM/STEAM education in schools to foster scientific thinking, creativity, and practical skills in students from an early age. Many STEM spaces, subject-specific classrooms, and technology experience models are receiving investment, creating opportunities for students to access science and technology through visual and practical methods.

Along with investing in infrastructure, Tay Ninh is promoting the training and development of teachers to meet the requirements of digital transformation and new teaching methods. Teachers are encouraged to improve their technological skills, apply AI, and innovate methods for organizing STEM experiential activities in schools.

Local authorities are strengthening connections between schools and businesses, technology companies, and educational organizations to expand creative experiential spaces for students. Socializing resources is considered a crucial solution to bring science and technology closer to students, contributing to the creation of a dynamic, modern, and practical learning environment.

According to Mr. Doan Trung Kien, these orientations not only contribute to improving the quality of education but also aim to form a generation of "digital citizens" with scientific thinking, technological skills, and the ability to adapt to the development trends of the new era.
