The provincial leaders and LHU delegation burnt incense to report achievements at Tran Bien Temple of Literature.

Lac Hong Robot delegation participated in an incense burning ceremony at Tran Bien Temple of Literature.

Speaking at the ceremony, Do Huu Tai proudly shared "This is the second time Dong Nai based LHU triumphs at ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest. We are really proud of that, but the deep meaning of the competition is not just about winning or losing, but about the problems, difficulties that force students to find out best solutions to conquer them. This trains students to cope with difficulties and challenges, then explore and create to solve the problems. This is the first step for students after graduation to solve more difficult problems in factories."

He also emphasized "With the motto - learning in parallel with practice, learner-centered training, the University has decided to reduce the theory and increase practice to meet students' best condition of practice. For the past time, the University has gradually upgraded and invested the equipment and machinery suitable for the current factories in the province, helping students to approach the reality."

The ceremony contributed to encouraging achievements in LHU's robot creation movement. The provincial leaders constantly encourage the University to continue to promote research and innovative activities since this is the strength of LHU in developing 4.0 technology rather than just the academic playground for students.
