    Summary:

    The IU Innovation Camp has been held for undergraduates for six years since 2019, focusing on addressing societal and environmental challenges under the SDGs. It aims to shape learners into proactive citizens and future leaders by nurturing research and entrepreneurial aspirations within Vietnam’s Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The IU Innovation Camp 2021 marked Vietnam’s first virtual camping experience. The camp provided a platform for meaningful engagement and knowledge exchange among learners in Ho Chi Minh City. Activities such as CEO seminars, interactive sessions, skill-building workshops, and a themed contest promoted creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. The online platform served as a catalyst for inspiration, learning, and connection. The IU Innovation Camp, both in general and specifically in the case of IU Innovation Camp 2021, had participants navigating self-discovery and innovation. Ultimately, camp participants have gained valuable lessons in creativity, perseverance, and transformative ideas, contributing to solutions that address contemporary challenges.
