| The “Little Chef’s Notebook” project by students of Ly Thuong Kiet Primary School (Thuan Hoa Ward) |
From the results of school and ward-level events, the organizing committee received 88 outstanding STEM projects. Following the evaluation round, 45 excellent projects were selected for the second round to be displayed and introduced at the festival.
This year’s projects are diverse in fields and closely connected to real life, clearly demonstrating the thinking and creativity of primary school students. Many topics are practical and relatable, such as: Little Chef’s Notebook, Balanced Nutrition Meal, a smart farm model, a solar system model, a colorful musical instrument set, and a magical garden.
In recent years, STEM education has been widely implemented across primary education institutions, with many practical lessons and projects. Teachers and students have become increasingly proactive in developing, utilizing, and applying these products in teaching. Through STEM activities, schools have gradually fostered students’ problem-solving abilities, practical skills, and a sense of responsibility toward the community.
Speaking at the festival, Mr. Nguyen Vinh Hung - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training, called on localities and schools to continue promoting STEM activities in a practical and effective manner; to focus on comprehensive education and place students at the center of all educational activities. He also emphasized the need to turn STEM products into visual teaching materials in subjects such as science, mathematics, and technology, and to develop projects with practical applications in families and communities.
The Organization Board awarded 45 prizes. For Grade 4, there were 2 First Prizes, 4 Second Prizes, 6 Third Prizes, and 10 Consolation Prizes; Grade 5 had a similar prize structure, including First, Second, and Third Prizes, along with 11 Consolation Prizes.
The festival provided an opportunity for students to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and promote creativity, contributing to the deeper development of STEM education.
