Categories: Student Projects Short Description Students approach a current method to investigate water pollution in Tau Hu Canal by zooplankton, and propose a plan to deal with water pollution. Detail Description 1. Purposes of the project: This project aims to help students recognise their competencies, and develop their skills and attitudes through scientific projects. In the project, students will be guided by experts from the University of Science Ho Chi Minh City, and CREST Mentors regarding their research topics. Core knowledge and skills are identified from NGSS standards from the US and the CREST standards from the UK. In addition, the project aims to give young people practical experiences when exposed to a polluted environment. From there, students have the right attitude and behavior towards the environment and have more motivation to find solutions for current and future pollution problems. They also have access to another world they have never seen before – the world of plankton. 2. Participants:​ In the project, there are: STEM ambassador The STEM ambassador; trained experts from the University, who help students to gain expertise in ecology, zooplankton and pollution. The CREST Mentor (from STEMax) Who will help students understand and meet the criteria for BSA for Silver levels and support STEM ambassadors work well with the students. Students The number of students is 3 students in total. They are all from the Tran Dai Nghia Junior High School for the Gifted. 3. Location and timeline:​ 3.1. Location: The project runs in various locations within Ho Chi Minh city. These include:  Water sampling point at Tau Hu canal, HCMC, Vietnam. The Laboratory of Environmental ecology – Faculty of Biology & Biotechnology at the University of Science Ho Chi Minh City.  STEMax facilities such as rooms for students to work in groups.  Students also work at home and meet virtually after the laboratory time and group time. 3.2. Timeline: The entire project lasts from 2 to 3 months including a silver project opportunity and some sessions to help students with science skills, technical skills.

Categories: Edu-Blog The rapid development of AI, robotics, biomedical technology, and new communication platforms is swiftly transforming our lives, continuously reshaping human perception. In this context, to master our careers, lives, and relationships, we need more than the skills currently cultivated in today’s educational institutions.   With the rapid shift to remote work, employers and managers are grappling with the challenge of work efficiency, often collaborating with individuals halfway around the globe. The swift evolution of AI, computer science, biomedical technology, materials science, etc., poses a challenge to grasp these technologies and scientific platforms to address increasingly complex global issues. Modern business owners and managers must adapt their management styles to leverage scientific and technological advancements, as well as changes in human awareness and work habits. Conversely, scientists and engineers must not only focus on solving specific problems but also learn how to apply specific solutions to broader contexts or determine the impact of powerful technological trends and global shifts in addressing these issues. In the face of such rapid change, what we learn becomes the foundation for our confidence in acquiring new knowledge and mastering our own work. According to the World Economic Forum [1], the following skills: Analytical Thinking and Innovation Active Learning and Learning Strategies Complex Problem Solving Critical Thinking and Analysis Creativity, Originality, and Initiative Technology Use, Monitoring, and Control Problem Solving and Idea Articulation are among the top 10 skills for 2025, enabling us not only to adapt but also to create opportunities to take charge of our careers, lives, and relationships. Critical thinking and problem-solving have consistently been highlighted in skill reports from 2016 to the present. The best opportunity for students still in the classroom to develop these skills is direct participation in projects that address real and complex problems, demanding high levels of self-management and the application of various skills.
