Research, market, and manufacture standard sample sets to serve the needs of high school students, university students or agencies inside and outside the Geology industry. Currently, students of many schools, especially high schools, often have to learn theory without illustrations and do not associate learning with practice. Therefore, the subject’s effectiveness is not high. It lacks practicality, does not encourage passion for Earth science, and cannot propagate love for nature and environmental protection awareness. On the other hand, standard sample sets are extremely necessary and valuable documents for agencies and individuals doing work related to geology.
Train:
Support students in thesis and internship guidance.
Organize or jointly organize short-term training courses with primary, middle, and high schools.
Organize introductions through visits for high school students, universities, colleges, and vocational schools with training in related fields.
