National STEM, AI and Robotics Championship 2024 (Vietnam STEM AI Robotics

The 2024 National STEM, AI and Robotics Championship (VSAR 2024) has officially launched, creating a top creative playground for students who love technology.

On the afternoon of November 14 , in Hanoi, Tien Phong Newspaper held a press conference to announce the National STEM, AI and Robotics Championship 2024 (Vietnam STEM AI Robotics - VSAR). for high school students with the theme "Green Agriculture - Sustainable Development". The event is also one of the activities responding to the National STEM Festival.

Here, the Organizing Committee arranged for a series of robots to dance enthusiastically to the song "Proud of Vietnam", surprising and exciting the whole hall.

At this playground, teams not only compete for titles but also have the opportunity to be selected to participate in international competitions on STEM, AI, Robotics, contributing to improving the position of Vietnamese students on the global science and technology education map.

The competition consists of five main tournaments , each with unique themes revolving around practical, real-world areas such as green agriculture - sustainable development , smart transportation and future innovation. These tournaments are designed to challenge students' knowledge and skills, from programming and controlling real robots to developing innovative software applications.

Journalist Phung Cong Suong, Editor-in-Chief of Tien Phong Newspaper, shared: "The contest with the theme "Green Agriculture - Sustainable Development" with technological solutions, artificial intelligence and automation to solve challenges in agricultural production. This is a topic of profound social significance towards sustainable development, achieving the dual goal of both improving production efficiency and protecting the environment through the application of science and technology".

- National STEM, AI and Robotics Championship (VSAR): The theme "Green Agriculture - Sustainable Development" will be a playground for teams to demonstrate their robot design and programming skills through the Seed Sowing challenge. Teams will have to build a robot capable of performing operations such as picking up seeds, moving and sowing seeds into specified cells. This is a practical challenge to help students understand the application of robots in improving agricultural production processes and developing environmentally friendly agricultural models.

- IYRC Vietnam 2024: With the theme "Green Energy" , the tournament will include many different competitions such as robot soccer, robots running on renewable energy and robot model creation. Through this tournament, students will have access to and apply advanced technologies, while raising awareness of environmental protection and clean energy use.

- MakeX Championship: The theme "Smart Delivery Robot" challenges teams to program and control robots to perform transportation and delivery tasks in a supply chain model. Conquering this challenge helps students better understand the role of robots in the field of transportation and logistics, finding solutions to contribute to improving economic efficiency and protecting the environment.

- Tekmonk Coding Olympiad Championship : This is a creative programming tournament for students from grades 3 to 12 with the theme "Future School" . The teams will apply programming skills to develop creative software, applied in learning and life. With these challenges, students can freely create, design and complete their own products.

- Virtual Robot Championship - ViRC: The theme "Rapid Relay" challenges virtual robot programming skills with the task of shooting balls at targets on a sand table. This tournament uses a virtual robot platform, allowing students without real equipment to still participate, develop programming skills and get acquainted with virtual simulation technology.
