With the project "Driver Safety AI", a group of students from Tran Hung Dao Primary School have come up with an innovative product that uses AI to detect driver drowsiness through a facial recognition camera system and analyze signs such as closing eyes, yawning, nodding, etc. When detecting a risk of loss of concentration, the system will issue a warning with LED lights, sounds or interactive questions to help drivers stay more alert, contributing to ensuring traffic safety.

With high practical applicability and scalability, the project has received high appreciation from the expert council.

The representative of the contest team of Tran Hung Dao Primary School (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) confidently presented in English.

In particular, the group of contestants confidently presented their projects entirely in English in front of the judges and other competing teams. "With their confident demeanor, fluent presentation skills and rich professional vocabulary, they demonstrated their outstanding foreign language skills as well as their spirit of international integration" - the Organizing Committee commented.

A group of 3 students from Tran Hung Dao Primary School have a special passion for technology, love to learn about AI, programming and computer science. From the STEM classroom and participating in the school's STEM Club, they have the opportunity to practice creative thinking, develop scientific skills associated with practical applications, thereby being able to form ideas and implement projects.

With the above achievements, Tran Hung Dao Primary School team has the opportunity to participate in the International Final Round of Codeavour 6.0 competition, taking place in Qatar in May 2025.
