1. French beyond borders website.
Https://Frenchbeyondborders.com.
The website you are on right now. It provides accessible, free, and engaging content for others to utilize in order to build their French skills.
Here, you can learn French grammar and vocabulary, as well as short stories in French, and information about culture and tourism. Through this project, I hope many people acquire some knowledge, understand why it’s so engaging, and be inspired to teach others about it.
There are 3 main parts of website:
+ French lesson: Vocabulary; Grammar and Listening
+ Short stories: including humor, horror, and fables
+ French culture: information on French culture, food, monuments,...
2. Science research project: Potential Application of ZnO in Solar Cells.
This project was carried out at the Center of Nanoscience and Technology - Hanoi National University of Education. I research the properties of ZnO to see if it would be compatible to use in solar cells.
It lasted for about 3 months.
After finishing the research, I presented at the London Youth International Science Forum (LIYSF) Science Bazaar at the Imperial College in July 2023. Many students from different countries saw my research and posed questions such as: "What are the future implications of this project?"
In the future, I hope to expand my research in this field to fulfill the rising needs.
3. Designing of multipurpose cane for visually-impaired people
The walking cane is one of the most common tools for visually impaired people. Its primary function is to aid visually impaired people in safely navigating their surroundings. They wave the cane in front of their eyes to scan for possible obstacles, gaps, stairs, or other people to avoid them. The cane is also fundamental for finding directions and helping owners travel more easily. Nowadays, many walking canes are equipped with technology such as GPS, which helps owners or family members locate the position of the cane and its owner accurately, enabling assistance if necessary, and voice options to communicate with surrounding people in the case of asking for help, for instance.
Our objective is to design and produce a functional cane that allows users to monitor their health and allows relatives to see the user’s location via GPS technology, but most importantly, to detect and avoid obstacles.
From the main idea and problems presented, the device's design includes the blocks in the following diagram.
Constructing physical circuit
Design and code of software
Testing the circuit
Product completion
We have successfully designed using software, created, and tested a functioning cane. The aforementioned objective of producing a cane that is accessible and affordable for the average visually impaired person in Vietnam has been fulfilled. Relatives of users can use the app to monitor health statistics and current position using GPS technology, and can initiate calls or messages in the case of an emergency. To further improve the product, existing problems discovered during testing have to be remedied, and additional features will be studied and added.
