On the morning of May 5, at the Central Coast Museum of Nature (Diem Phung Thi Street, Vy Da Ward, Hue City), the "Eureka America Academy Kids" social enterprise had a visit, study, and professional experience for students from 6 - 9 years old who are studying at Eureka America Academy Kids with the topic "I am a specimen maker".

The program aims to help students understand the protection of natural resources and the environment, love animals; learn English through terms related to wildlife and better understand the work of specimen-making by experts.

At the program, the students visited and heard in English about the name, origin, and value of specimens of rare animals and plants displayed at the Museum; directly learned about the work of the specimen maker and participated in the assembly and completion of a specimen.

Also during the visit, to the museum's specimen display space, the students were engraved with knowledge about animals through stem activities. Mr. Phan Quoc Vinh, CEO and founder of Eureka America Academy Kids said: Through this activity, we want students to have the opportunity to learn and experience, thereby helping them not only improve their skills in using English through close topics but also help them form a sense of environmental protection, love animals and plants, thereby taking practical actions to join hands with society to protect our living environment. In the future, Eureka America Academy Kids will continue to return to visit the Museum and bring new and more advanced experiences to develop their capacity from this exciting interactive learning environment.
