AEG opens new branch in Go Vap district

At the opening event, AEG organized the "NASA Way Racing" - "Balloon Car - STEAM Challenge" competition for students who love science with a total prize value of up to 700 million VND. This is a competition that was organized by NASA more than 20 years ago (in 1998) at the California Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA, as a premise for NASA's space exploration programs. Since then, NASA has often used "balloon car" as an example of Newton's third law when teaching STEAM to develop children's thinking ability.

This competition has attracted the attention and participation of parents as well as children. With simple materials such as paper, bottles, straws, balloons, etc., children can create their own racing cars, apply them to reality and turn a complex scientific law into something easy to understand and familiar.

Through this competition, AEG wants to convey a message about creative and highly interactive English teaching and learning methods. Balloon cars and similar activities are always included in STEAM English classes at AEG. In addition to helping children acquire foreign languages ​​naturally, this method will help them develop creativity, critical thinking and discover their passions. The STEAM English program is the first and only curriculum in the world that combines the American STEAM method with English learning. STEAM is a teaching method that integrates 5 subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics to help students approach these subjects in an interesting and practical way.

Sharing about the development of the STEAM English program, Mr. Jorge Medrano, Academic Director at AEG said, “STEAM English has proven to be effective in teaching English in a creative way. In addition to practicing language skills and expanding knowledge, students also have the opportunity to develop personal capacity, critical thinking ability, and confidence – skills and qualities that are extremely necessary for future global citizens.”
