HUTECH and Singapore Polytechnic review LeX 2024–2026 and discuss plans for 2027
The discussion centered on LeX+, a follow-up initiative designed to further develop promising projects after students complete the 12-day experiential learning program. Selected ideas and prototypes will undergo further research and refinement to become viable solutions that address community needs and offer opportunities for commercialization.
Both institutions discuss developing LeX+ to refine promising projects and expand their practical applications
To align the program’s objectives with local needs, the two institutions conducted site visits in Binh My Commune to identify suitable challenges for LeX+ 2027. They also met with the Commune People’s Committee, Binh My Cooperative, and the local business association to learn about production and business activities, identify challenges, and determine which issues need to be addressed.
The visits included the Ham Thuy Dao ecotourism site in Rach Day, a dairy farm, and water spinach plots operated by local households. Learning about their operations, facilities, and production conditions will help assess opportunities for experiential learning and identify potential applied research topics.
