LHU inaugurates STEAMHub Technology Library with VND 1.1 billion investment

On the morning of September 19, 2026, LHU officially inaugurated the STEAMHub Technology Library at Campus 6 – Center of Scientific Research and Applications, marking the launch of a new learning and hands-on technology space with a total investment of VND 1.1 billion.

The event was attended by Mr. Pham Van Trinh, Member of the City Party Committee and Director of the Dong Nai Department of Science and Technology; Ms. Hoang Thi Bich Phu, Deputy Director of Dong Nai Newspaper and Radio-Television; Ms. Tran To Uyen, Co-founder and Country Director of STEAM for Vietnam, together with representatives of STEAM for Vietnam; and Mr. Emory Mercado, General Director of Onsemi Vietnam, along with representatives of the company. The event also welcomed representatives of LHU’s partner organizations, including Teakwang Vina, Filim.AI, and VISEMI.

Representing LHU were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Lam Thanh Hien, Rector, together with representatives of affiliated units, faculty members, and students. The ceremony also brought together representatives and students from Lac Hong Bilingual Primary, Secondary and High School; Bui Thi Xuan Primary, Secondary and High School; Dinh Tien Hoang Primary, Secondary and High School; and Vinh Cuu High School.

An open space for STEAM learning and exploration

STEAMHub was developed as an open learning environment where students can access technology, gain hands-on experience, test ideas, and develop projects related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM).

During the inauguration program, participants experienced a range of activities and equipment, including virtual reality (VR), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), programming games, autonomous vehicle control, and other technology models and practical devices. Rather than simply observing, participants direclty operated, experimented and explored how technology can be applied in learning, research, and everyday life.

These hands-on activities provide students with a more intuitive and accessible way to explore technology while encouraging curiosity, creative thinking, and interest in fields such as artificial intelligence, programming, automation, robotics, and digital technology. They also offer opportunities for students to see how technology can be applied in learning, research, and everyday life.

Connecting education with AI and Semiconductor Technology

Following the inauguration ceremony, LHU, in collaboration with STEAM for Vietnam and On Semiconductor Vietnam Co., Ltd., held a discussion titled “From education to the future of AI and Semiconductor Technology” for high school and university students.

At the event, students had the opportunity to learn more about the development of AI, semiconductor technology, and high-tech workforce trends, as well as the knowledge and skills they need to prepare for the rapid changes in the job market.

The launch of STEAMHub, together with activities that connect experts, businesses, and students, helps expand opportunities for technology learning and hands-on experience at LHU. Through these activities, students can get familiar with technology from an early stage, learn through practice, and gradually explore their study and career interests in areas such as AI, automation, programming, and semiconductor technology.
