Scientific research takes place in every aspect of daily life. It brings about wonders by finding answers to problems, thus making our lives better. Therefore, the earlier children get involved in learning about research, the greater chance they have of taking action to build a better world. However, there are limited resources and opportunities given to school students in Vietnam to access to research models and authentic science at schools.
As a health sciences unit, OUCRU is keen to engage school and university students in our research and motivate this young generation to follow research as their career path. Our Science Visit project provides opportunities for students from Ho Chi Minh City and nearby provinces to participate in joyful, compelling, and engaging visits to OUCRU.
OUCRU researchers in the role of “Lab guides” will show students what is going on in OUCRU laboratories and explain some biomedical research currently underway.
Students will work in groups to collect information about recent biomedical issues relating to fields of the available research group, then raise questions to ease their concerns. This activity is to raise students’ awareness of some recent biomedical issues and emphasize the key role of scientists in finding solutions to public health crises.
Students can learn about the clinical research process with scientists through lively and exciting role-playing games. They can also conduct experiments with scientists that describe the daily research work of scientists. In addition, in the event, students learn more about the microbial world around us through experiments.
