Elevating STEM Creativity through Practical STEM Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the theme STEM Innovation for a Greener Future<\/em>, the course aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Encourage adolescents, especially girls, to actively address environmental challenges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote gender equality in STEM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Equip participants with knowledge on climate change, clean energy, and sustainable development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Strengthen skills in Design Thinking, creativity, presentation, teamwork, and problem-solving<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The \u201cGreen STEM Innovation 2025\u201d course focuses on turning knowledge into action, enabling adolescents to engage with STEM education proactively, accessibly, and in direct connection with local environmental challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Learning Experience: From Design Thinking to a Viable STEM Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    With the participation of 60 adolescents (37 girls, 23 boys)<\/strong>, the opening session was vibrant and engaging, featuring a series of hands-on activities on design thinking<\/strong> and team formation<\/strong>:
    \u2728 Ice breaking<\/em> \u2013 Connecting and spreading positive energy.
    \u2728 I Have a Dream<\/em> \u2013 Shaping visions and aspirations for social change.
    \u2728 Identify problem<\/em> \u2013 Recognizing environmental challenges in the community.
    \u2728 Form team<\/em> \u2013 Creating teams based on shared interests and assigning roles.
    \u2728 Mini Design Thinking<\/em> \u2013 Experiencing the five steps: empathy \u2013 define \u2013 ideate \u2013 prototype \u2013 test<\/em>.
    \u2728 Quick pitching<\/em> \u2013 Delivering 60-second pitches to build confidence and communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Participants who complete all three sessions will receive a Certificate of Completion for the Course & Green STEM Innovation 2025 Competition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Learners who complete all three sessions will receive a \u201cGreen STEM Innovation 2025 Course & Competition\u201d certificate\u2014recognizing their competence and commitment to STEM education. After the foundations, teams will refine ideas, build prototypes, and draft implementation plans including impact goals, KPIs, indicative budgets, and communication roadmaps. Project documentation (project brief, poster\/kiosk, pitch deck) will align with core judging criteria of the STEM competition: innovation, feasibility, sustainability impact, level of interdisciplinary collaboration, and scalability strategy. Learners will also be guided to collect evidence, test data and user feedback\u2014before entering evaluation rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Expected Impact: Expanding the STEM Creativity Ecosystem in Da Nang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The program aims to activate a local network of students, educators, experts, and partners to nurture STEM models tackling waste, clean water, energy, and climate adaptation. Standout projects can evolve into demoable products, receive mentorship, apply for micro-grants, or connect with businesses and civil society for community pilots. Increasing girls\u2019 leadership in STEM creativity helps narrow the gender gap while inspiring younger cohorts. In the long run, outputs from projects and the STEM competition will enrich a local knowledge repository, strengthening Da Nang\u2019s innovation ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s look forward to groundbreaking ideas from Da Nang\u2019s young innovators \u2014 champions of a greener planet in 2025!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
