SEED and International School in Vietnam organized the first English Science Fair in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam on December 6th, 2003. Among the five participating schools, two are SEED Connectivity Grant Schools – Nguyen Thuong Hien High School and Le Quy Don Gifted School from Vung Tau.

During this day, students from each school formed a mixed school grouping and each team was assigned a different color T.shirt. Throughout the day, students participated in a range of joint activities involving Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Design Technology, and Information Technology. The interesting and well-designed tasks to test each subject theory actually brought about a fun and very enjoyable experience while all the students could develop new friendships and cooperation including team-building skills.

At the end of the day, the SEED coordinator and the International School Ho Chi Minh head master gave the award to the brown winning team!
