"This is both a challenge and an opportunity for the young and creative workforce. STEM education, with its philosophy of transmitting knowledge scientifically and intuitively, can be seen as an ideal approach to improving young people's knowledge and innovative thinking, thus forming generations of digital citizens who are ready to seize the opportunities of the industrial revolution 4.0 to develop their hometown," Dinh said.
