On March 22, more than 2,000 students, parents and teachers from primary schools participated in the Primary STEM Festival for the 2024-2025 school year, co-organized by the Department of Education and Training of Ngu Hanh Son District (Da Nang City).

This is an annual activity to create a playground for science, creativity, discovery and application for students. This year, the event was held at FPT Danang Primary and Secondary School, with the theme "Fun Science - Endless Creativity", bringing many STEM exchange activities for students in grades 3, 4, and 5.

The organizers also gave the teams a theme to create STEM products. The products on display and manufactured were made from recycled materials. In 90 minutes, the “young engineers” assembled and designed the products, explained the operating principles and practical applications.

Mr. Ta Tu Binh, Vice Chairman of Ngu Hanh Son District People's Committee (Da Nang City), said that STEM is not only an advanced educational method but also a tool to help students practice logical thinking, problem-solving skills, teamwork and unlimited creativity.

Mr. Binh hopes that after this festival, the STEM teaching and learning movement in primary schools will further develop, creating a solid foundation for students to explore and conquer the fields of science and technology in the future.
