With the desire to help students have many practical experiences in learning, help them realize that: science is the reality of life, is something close and can be expressed, thereby developing the thinking and creativity of students. At the same time, improve the professional capacity of the school's teaching staff.
Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hai – Stem/Steam education expert
Recently Duc Tri School organized a training workshop on “Teaching STEM: From practical experience to creative thinking”. The program was led by Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hai – Stem/Steam education expert.
All teachers and staff of the school participated in the talk.
In the recent talk, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hai provided an overview and easy-to-understand view of Stem education in the context of digital technology. At the same time, he introduced new implementation and teaching methods of Stem education to help inspire learning, thereby arousing passion and creativity in students.

STEM education does not only create opportunities for students to practice and experience more real life than before, but more importantly, it awakens and nurtures the imagination and creativity that are natural characteristics of every human being. The diverse integration of educational components, forming a STEM/STEAM educational ecosystem, will be one of the keys to nurturing and training generations of global citizens with knowledge and skills, especially creative thinking in the new era.
Before starting to teach Stem, teachers need to identify specific learning goals that students want to achieve. It is necessary to build lessons based on real-life situations, arrange lessons into learning projects, and build a flexible Stem learning ecosystem. Stem education is not only limited to interdisciplinary knowledge groups of natural sciences, but now teachers have proactively integrated cultural, social, humanities, and artistic elements. At the same time, We must also focus on knowledge and lessons that are appropriate and age-appropriate for each student.
Integrating STEM education into the learning process should be implemented early from preschool, possibly through games, stories, and daily activities. However, the focus is not on memorizing a lot of knowledge, but rather on creating a stepping stone for creative and logical thinking for higher levels of education later on.

With the useful information in this talk, Mr. Duc Tri has more valuable materials to exploit more unique aspects in lectures and learning projects in the subjects of STEM, STEAM, Informatics, Natural Sciences - Social Sciences.
