About This Cause
The Vietnamese Science & Culture Society of Oregon (VSCSO) is a community based nonprofit organization dedicated to charitable, scientific and education purposes. Our missions are: • to promote and preserve the Vietnamese culture in the American Society • to promote science & technology among our young children • to promote harmony and cooperation amongst Vietnamese Americans, especially in the Science & Culture fields • to provide a multi-faceted environment where Vietnamese American professionals can exchange ideas, share skills, and participate in the building of a strong Vietnamese community Vietnamese Culture In our effort to promote and preserve the Vietnamese culture, we have created a Vietnamese language school, the Lac Hong School. Through these weekly classes, Vietnamese-American youths learn to speak, read, and write Vietnamese, as well as exposure to history, arts, music and literature. Most students range from age 5 to 18. These classes also welcome non-Vietnamese Americans who would like to learn the Vietnamese language. All instructors , who are non-paid volunteers. Classes are held for 2.5 hours each week on Saturday afternoons during the school year. A school year consists of 32 weeks of instructions. We have around students each year. This school serves the Beaverton/Hillsboro/Tigard/West Portland and surrounding areas. VSCSO is an active participant in the local community cultural events such as New Year celebration, children Moon Festival, or the building of the community Float for the annual Rose Parade. Science & Technology: We also teach Lego Robotics classes for interested students. Students are trained by volunteers from local technology companies such as Intel, Lam Research, or Tektronix. The goals for the children are to get a taste of the different engineering disciplines ( software, mechanical, or project management) through the design and programming of Lego robotics. The children form teams to compete in the national First Lego Robotics tournament, and have fun! Classes are held at PCC Rock Creek and corporate facilities when available.
