Project Update: Go! Science: Together We Spread Science Spirit

The word that most accurately describes our recent work is “INSPIRE.”

Following the successful Science Fair on December 3, 2016, the 2017 campaign "Go! Science: Together We Spread Science Spirit” was launched. This was the first time MSMS implemented the science event series outside of Ho Chi Minh City. The science camp and coffee shares were the two primary activities of our Go! Science Campaign.

On September 9, 2017, the first science camp to kick-off this event series was conducted at Nguyen Binh Khiem High School (in Quang Nam, a province in central Vietnam), attracting around 200 high school students to participate. During this event, there were three main science activities to encourage careers in the field of science, as well as provide knowledge about science, including science booths, uni-life reveal, and science quizzes. 

The “science wall,” covering all science articles published by the MSMS content community, was displayed on the way to the camp.

Inside, there were many science-related activities from our three labs: Health Science, Applied Science, and Environmental Science. The interactive activities included DNA extraction, medical oil formulation, blood type identification, Arduino board set-up, robot interaction, dendrology, and many more.

All participating students were engaged in the “science quiz” to recall all the information in their tour of the science booths.

Apart from the science camp, the two coffee shares were conduced by our Health Science Lab and Applied Science Lab on September 10 in Da Nang. The two coffee shares covered a couple topics.

- Digital Era: To be Sheep or to be Wolves?

- Pain Has Its Secret: That's What You Think?

The science camp in Ba Ria High School (Ba Ria - Vung Tau - nearly 100 km from HCMC) was the closing event for our Go! Science series. On September 23, 400 students attended the camp, far exceeding our expectations!

Most students were inspired by expertise 'monitors' in different classes for our uni-life reveal. A variety of career paths were also covered, including the fields of medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, environment, robotics, and programming. 

Aiming to nurture a passion for science by engaging students using a non-academic method with a simple, interdisciplinary, and applicable approach, we - MSMS - have been pleased to receive very positive feedback from participating students:

"This is the first time I have joined such a great event about science." - Nhat, 17, from Quang Nam

"I have never imagined science is so close to everyday life like that." -Khiem, 18, from Ba Ria

"I'm so impressed by your knowledge as well as the enthusiasm you bring here." -Hai, 23, a volunteer from Da Nang

This feedback make us proud of the work we have done, doing our part to spread the science spirit among Vietnamese youth. Go! Science is not only about the milestone events we conducted, but also the close-knit MSMS family we have built.

Whilst I work through all the video clips and photos of Costa Rica life continues. We visited #legoland in #windsor it was organised by a mother in the home ed community. The home ed communities are great in the uk with many enthusiastic parents, gaurdians, friends , grandparents, aunties and uncles looking to facilitate and educate the home community. The support network is Fantastic! We had a lovely family break together! The girls even got to cut the ribbon to open the park for the day. Thank you! #worldlearning #worldblog #lifethroughimages #lifethroughpictures #photoblog #legolanduk #fun #familyblog #travel #family #lego #legohotel #legolandhotel #unschoolinglife #unschoolingblog #unschooling #therapleyblog #therapleys #livingandlearning #livingthedream 1

We visited a small cheese farm in Rivas and the cheese was delicious. We got to see how they make the cheese and it is all made by hand. #rivas #rivascostarica #amazing #freedom #tree #treeoflife #unschoolinglife #worldlearning #worldblog #worldtravel #worldschoolers #travelmum #traveldad #travelblogger #travel #therapleys #cheese #livingthedream #lifethroughimages #livingandlearning #familyblog (at Rivas, San Jose, Costa Rica)
