The ASEAN+3 Science Talent Camp will be held in Korea from December 17 to 23, 2023. This is a prestigious applied science competition, held annually under the auspices of the Korean Federation of Science Education Societies for students aged 13 to 15 who are passionate about scientific research, have excellent English skills and teamwork to create innovative products through international project activities.
This year's program with the hot topic "Sustainable Science and the Role of Scientists" is attracting the attention of governments and businesses of many countries after COP 28. Along with that, the camp has gathered students with talent in science and technology to cooperate and demonstrate their skills in a challenging environment; as well as creating opportunities for teachers to attend seminars, in-depth discussions and absorb new ideas through activities organized by the ASEAN+3 Science Talent Center.
The ASEAN+3 Science Talent Camp attracted 104 students and 25 instructors from 10 Southeast Asian countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand) along with Korea, China and Sweden.
Professor Le Anh Vinh and Mr. Do Duc Lan, Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences, and 6 Vietnamese students attended the Camp.
Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Le Anh Vinh and Mr. Do Duc Lan - Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences, the Vietnamese delegation attended with 6 students: Le Minh Duc - Nguyen Hue High School for the Gifted - Hanoi; Le Mai Jenifer - Vinschool Metropolis High School - Hanoi; Do Ngoc Linh - Hanoi Amsterdam High School for the Gifted; and Hoang Bao Ngoc, Phan Tram Anh, Tran Nguyen Chau Anh from Victoria International Bilingual School Nam Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City.

Teachers from different countries guide students to carry out the project
The 104 students attending the Camp were divided into 30 international teams, each team consisting of 3 to 4 students from different countries. The teams will conduct research on 1 of 4 topics: (1) Energy harvesting using renewable energy; (2) CO2 levels and their impact on climate change; (3) Impact of climate change on biodiversity and conservation strategies; (4) Analysis and prediction of changes through exploring collected data.
Students enthusiastically work in international project teams
After 5 days of hard work, the participating teams presented their projects to the jury, which are leading experts from 08 leading universities in Korea: Seoul National University of Education, Gyeongin National University of Education, Ehwa Woman's University, Gachon University, Korea University, Kyonggi University, Kyungpook University. The jury selected 8 excellent teams to present in the final round with 2 teams per topic. Each topic will have three team project awards including 1 gold award, 1 silver award, 1 bronze award. The result is a total of 12 awards for international projects. 6- The jury awarded team awards to international student groups
Overcoming many competitors from countries with achievements and history of scientific research applied in coping with climate change, the Vietnamese student team won high awards. Four awards for the international team project included: 1 gold award for Le Minh Duc from Nguyen Hue High School for the Gifted, Hanoi, 2 silver awards for Hoang Bao Ngoc from Victoria Bilingual International School of South Saigon, Le Mai Jenifer from Vinschool Metropolis Secondary School, Hanoi and 1 bronze award for Phan Tram Anh from Victoria Bilingual International School of South Saigon.
