Abstract
In the recent digital age, Decision Science plays an important role in many areas, including Education. Among the Educational trends that serve the fourth industrial revolution, STEM Education has been demonstrating its superiority through various studies from Europe to Asia. This study applies the STEMTech model, a model that connects the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics to create products with a central technological factor, to create STEM products in the context of High Schools in Vietnam. We first design the survey questionnaires and distribute the questionnaires to respondents to get our survey done. We then carry out a quantitative analysis to evaluate rubric and find positive feedback from students, the model provides a new approach to teaching in High Schools in the industrial age 4.0, helps students create STEM products and have a dynamic and creative learning environment, and helps teachers to create modern tools and approaches. The real-life applications of the STEM products show the suitability, vitality, and potential of applying the STEMTech model when it comes to teaching.
