SCIENCE MDE FAIR 2024 – CREATIVE “PLAYGROUND” OF FUTURE SCIENTISTS ⚗🔬
💡 TDSers had a special weekend with their parents and friends at the “Lab of Mad Scientist” – Science MDE Fair 2024.
Entering the “Lab,” TDSers encountered teachers who were “both strange and familiar” dressed in unique “mad scientist” costumes. The school grounds were filled with scientific and MDE products “made by TDSers” throughout the semester. What’s more, TDSers were guided by these “mad scientists” to 14 exciting Experience Stations, where they could explore the joy of science through unique experiments such as: Descartes Diver, robot programming, spinning eggs, mirror mazes, mysterious magnetic mazes, bubbles within bubbles, dancing popcorn, rainbow showers, and more. Student Nguyen Sinh Phu from 5Boston declared, “I never thought science could be so interesting. I am determined to become a scientist in the future!”
🔬In addition to moments of learning and play, TDSers also had the opportunity to showcase their problem-solving skills and scientific creativity at the Science Competition 2024. TDSers confidently presented products created through the Design Thinking method, which were highly praised by the judging panel, such as: self-lacing shoes using sensors (6th grade students), an automatic house cleaning machine (3rd grade students), and the Daily Eco mobile application (11th grade students),…
Moreover, alongside these three innovative ideas, students also conducted and presented 16 interesting experiments in English during the fair. Each experiment demonstrated a unique perspective of TDSers on seemingly minor issues in life, such as the direction of wind between buildings or generating electricity from fruits.
❓Another favorite place for TDSers is the canteen, where the Science Quiz Bowls 2024 take place – an opportunity for TDSers to showcase their knowledge through intriguing questions about science.
Tran Ngoc Khanh, a student from 8Canberra, shares, “Both the Quiz Bowl and the Creative Science Competition are very enjoyable experiences for me. I learn from my peers, enhance my presentation skills, and acquire new knowledge about science. I am very happy with this Science MDE Fair.”
The Science MDE Fair is a major annual event at The Dewey Schools. It is an interdisciplinary project focusing on science and MDE, where students present their academic achievements in both subjects, as well as stimulate curiosity and foster a love for science and innovation in each student.
