A group of Vietnamese students had the wonderful opportunity to be welcomed at Google headquarters by Mr. Quoc Le, one of the world’s leading experts in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the presence of Vietnamese Google engineers, the meeting brought a memorable and extremely meaningful experience to the students, parents and teachers.
Inspirational Story from Mr. Quoc Le
During the meeting, Mr. Quoc Le shared his journey from a boy born in Hue, growing up in difficult circumstances when his house did not have electricity, to becoming one of the inventors who influenced billions of users worldwide at Google. Mr. Quoc’s stories of efforts and failures made the students excited and deeply feel that difficulties are just stepping stones to success.
Mr. Quoc also did not forget to encourage the students to be calm in the face of challenges and not to be too hasty in the process of learning and developing themselves. As he shared: “Hanoi is not in a hurry,” emphasizing that every successful journey requires time and perseverance.
Uncle Quoc Le’s Contribution to STEAM for Vietnam Foundation
Not only stopping at sharing experiences and inspiring, Uncle Quoc Le’s family also donated money to STEAM for Vietnam Foundation. His goal is to help many Vietnamese students have the opportunity to participate in educational activities and experiences in the US – where students can directly explore the world’s leading learning environments.
This contribution is a strong motivation for the team of hundreds of volunteers of STEAM for Vietnam Foundation. They work tirelessly, always wanting to bring students real-life experiences, helping them better understand what can be achieved through STEAM education.
Expanding Vision and Motivating Students
The meeting at Google headquarters gave students the opportunity to meet the world’s leading experts in the field of technology and artificial intelligence. They had direct contact with those who have invented and are inventing globally influential technologies, helping students clearly see that seemingly impossible things can become possible if they dare to dream and make constant efforts.
The direct experience at one of the world’s largest technology centers also helps students become more confident and set higher goals for the future. This is a strong source of motivation, helping them understand that there are no limits in pursuing their dreams.
Distinguishing Between Real Experts and “Fake” Experts
An interesting thing that students learned after this meeting was the ability to distinguish between real experts and “fake” experts. Meeting the world’s leading experts at Google helps students easily realize the true value of knowledge and experience. When meeting the best people, students will not be easily fooled by those who lack expertise.
Bright Future for Vietnam’s Young Generation
This trip is not only an opportunity for students to broaden their horizons but also a solid foundation for the future. Students who have the opportunity to access an international learning environment and meet leading experts will become valuable resources for the future of Vietnam.
STEAM for Vietnam Foundation is constantly striving to create more opportunities for students to access STEAM education programs and explore advanced technology fields. With support from the community and sponsors like Mr. Quoc Le’s family, the future of Vietnamese students is brighter than ever.
The meeting at Google headquarters was an inspiring journey, opening up new horizons for Vietnamese students. Thanks to the guidance of Mr. Quoc Le and leading experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence, the students were not only motivated but also had more confidence to pursue their big dreams. This will certainly be a valuable asset to help students go further on the path of learning and career development in the future.
