Over 2,000 people attended the 2025 Open Mathematics Day.

On December 14th, at the Vietnamese-German University (Ho Chi Minh City), the Institute for Advanced Studies in Mathematics, in collaboration with other units, organized an open mathematics festival with the theme "Mathematics, Art, and Creativity." The event is expected to attract approximately 2,000–3,000 teachers, university students, and high school students, creating a vibrant academic and experiential space rarely seen in the mathematics and STEM community.

The Open Math Festival is a series of open activities about mathematics and STEM in general, aimed at connecting students, teachers, parents, mathematicians, and education experts. Through discussion sessions and practical experiences, participants have the opportunity to discuss current issues in mathematics and mathematics education, while exploring the beauty and diverse applications of mathematics in science, technology, and life.

According to the organizers, the program is designed with two main groups of activities, suitable for a wide range of participants.

In the professional development section, the program for high school teachers and students focuses on currently relevant topics. A highlight is the lecture "Decoding ChatGPT – The Mathematical Foundation Behind the Miracle," which helps learners better understand the role of mathematics in the development of artificial intelligence. In addition, the program launches Khanmigo – an AI assistant for Vietnamese teachers – and introduces and demonstrates how to effectively utilize its features in teaching. Another noteworthy content is the lecture "Quantum Technology: Future, Prospects, and Reality in Vietnam," which opens up a new perspective on the development of high technology linked to mathematics.

Simultaneously, the experiential activity for students and all interested individuals is called "In the Wonderful Land of Mathematics." Here, participants can directly engage in games and interactive activities related to mathematics and its practical applications under the guidance of instructors. Beyond simply "learning through play," participants can also create practical products prepared by collaborating units, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the creativity and accessibility of mathematics.

With its open approach, combining academic learning and experiential activities, the event is expected to contribute to spreading a love of mathematics, stimulating creative thinking, and inspiring STEM learning among young people.
