High school STEM internship program

We partner with university labs in Vietnam offer STEM internship program to high school students who want to learn about STEM majors and determine whether they are a good fit to the STEM programs at universities.

The High School Technical Internship Program is an intensive 8-week initiative designed to provide high school students with a hands-on experience in the various technology majors. This program aims to equip students with practical skills, industry knowledge, and a real-world understanding of a technical project.

The program will expose high school students to various STEM majors: mechanical, mechatronics, electrical, computer science, artificial intelligence, and big data, which would give them real experience of how each major professional would collaborate in real project scenarios where high school students will be a part of the project.

The projects are selected from R&D projects or company projects that have been partially completed, so high school students will have the guidance and contribute to the outcome of the projects. Students will have the opportunity to work on actual prototypes, understand how theory works in practice and apply their creative thinking in proposing new ideas for the project.

Our program is offered in English, with an explanation in Vietnamese if needed, so Vietnamese students will be exposed to English at the university level and get ready to learn university subjects in English. Through our five-week program, the students will gain practical experience, work together in a group, and
learn technical skills related to a STEM project at the university level. The curriculum is designed by experienced lecturers who have taught STEM to high school students for many years.

    • Project: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (drone) to monitor water quality

    Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones will need to automatically follow a pre-programmed path or manual control to measure water quality. UAV is controlled from the ground, and monitored via a wireless camera.
    The control signal from the ground will activate the measurement action and take water sample.

    Students can take part in some of the following tasks:

    • Create a program to send signal from the ground station to the UAV control system to lower sensors to water
    • Create a program to read sensor data
    • Practice and experience flying software
    • Program an app to take UAV data while flying and send it to the station
    • Program an app to take UAV data while flying and send it to the station Investigate, design, and program microprocessor
