Students often gather around a table to discuss lessons or work on an assignment together. Now instead of using personal laptops, they can share a smart screen while enjoying drinks.

Synary Smart Hub which opened on Friday at the National Economics University, provided a modern space for students and lecturers to feel free to create and research, said Tran Tho Dat, head of the university.

“I often see students working together in libraries or coffee shops, and each one has their own laptop,” he said.

“Having five laptops on a table is quite inconvenient, so Synary Smart Hub provides a large screen built into the table which they can work together on one assignment.”

“The smart screen can be divided into different sections for personal work.”

The smart hub will also provide training and exchange programmes for students.

Le Thi Loan and Nguyen Thi Thu are the co-founders of the hub. They learned from many smart cities like Dubai and have brought the technology to Viet Nam with a desire to apply this model at universities across the country. — VNS
