▌ STEM Education Program
What is STEM Education?
“STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world lessons as students apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work, and the global enterprise, enabling the development of STEM literacy and with it the ability to compete in the new economy.”
STEM Education Program at Doan Thi Diem Primary School - Hanoi
Doan Thi Diem School is proud to be one of the pioneers in introducing STEM education into classrooms, with a team of well-trained STEM experts, teaching a licensed program from the United States, and fully invested equipment to support students' learning and research.
The 'Engineering is Elementary' (EiE) STEM Education Program being applied was designed by the Boston Museum of Science, Massachusetts, USA, in 2003. This is a globally recognized, award-winning program that reaches over 1.3 million students annually across all 50 states of the U.S. and 30 countries worldwide.
At Doan Thi Diem Primary School - Hanoi, the STEM Education program is officially taught for 2 periods per week, with Vietnamese language for students in Grades 1, 2, and 3, and English language by a native-speaking teacher for students in Grades 4 and 5.
Students participating in the program will learn through hands-on lessons, experiments, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving.
With a 'Hands-on, minds-on' approach, as well as Inquiry-based Learning & Project-based Learning methods, STEM students will stimulate their curiosity, imagination, and creativity.
By applying the Engineering Design Process to learning and experiential activities, from planning and designing to reporting results and drawing lessons, students will understand how to analyze and find solutions to a problem, and overcome challenges by applying knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in real-world lessons.
