2. VIRTUAL TRIP TO MARS

Astronomy and space have always been captivating subjects for children. The thrill of discovering new things and conquering the vast universe can make them more excited than ever.

With Access Mars, parents and children can explore the real surface of Mars, captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover, right from the comfort of their own home.

3. DISCOVER THE WORLD’S LARGEST CAVE

You might not know: Sơn Đoòng Cave, considered the largest known natural cave in the world, is located in Tân Trạch Commune, Bố Trạch District, Quảng Bình Province, Vietnam.

However, exploring and experiencing this natural wonder requires significant effort. Fortunately, National Geographic has provided us with a virtual 360-degree exploration of this cave through their photojournalism Fly through a colossal cave: Sơn Đoòng in 360º.

4. DRAW WITH FRIENDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Drawspace offers online drawing lessons with printable curricula used by millions of students and teachers. The platform also offers hundreds of lessons developed by accomplished artists and educators.

5. EMBRACE VIETNAMESE HISTORY WITH YOUR CHILD

Rather than focusing on anecdotes or storytelling, “Người kể sử” provides readers with valuable historical documents on various periods of Vietnamese history, from the Hung Kings era to the heroic years of resistance against the French and American forces. Despite its vast resource collection, the website is exceptionally well-organized and easy to navigate, making it a user-friendly platform for historical research.

Each historical period is divided into smaller segments and specific events, linked to the names of prominent historical figures. Additionally, the website highlights significant events for each period. All articles on the website are sourced from reputable sources, ensuring the accuracy of the information provided.
