Bac Ninh (VNA) – As many as 300 students from 10 secondary schools in the northern province of Bac Ninh joined the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Festival 2023 which was organised in Tu Son city on November 15 by the provincial Department of Education and Training and Kenan Foundation Asia (Kenan).

The festival is part of a cooperation project between the Ministry of Education and Training’s Secondary Education Department and Kenan, and has been held in Hanoi since 2018.

Organised for Bac Ninh students for the first time, the festival served as a playground where students had opportunities to experience various STEM activities, helping them improve soft skills such as leadership, cooperation, communications and counterargument, while nurturing their STEM passion.
