SEPA is a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to expanding access to high-quality STEM education, robotics, AI, sustainability learning and inclusive educational opportunities for students and teachers across Vietnam.
We believe that every learner deserves the opportunity to explore science, build solutions, use technology creatively and contribute to their community — regardless of geography, gender, disability or background.
“`Quality STEM Education for All
SEPA supports teachers, schools and communities through practical STEM programs, teacher training, robotics education, inclusive technology and community-based learning initiatives.
A community-driven organization for inclusive STEM education
The STEM Education Promotion Alliance works to implement evidence-informed and community-based approaches that improve children’s learning in STEM fields. Our mission is to support equitable access to meaningful STEM learning and to help translate educational policies and practices into real opportunities for learners.
SEPA gives special attention to teachers and students in rural and mountainous areas, girls, students with disabilities and other underserved groups. Through our programs, we aim to make STEM education practical, inclusive, culturally relevant and connected to real life.
