A meaningful playground for Gen Z who love science
The National Science and Technology Competition for High School Students (VISEF) has just ended in Ho Chi Minh City with many proud achievements. The competition attracted 212 projects from 71 participating teams, an increase of 63 projects compared to last year. This is a testament to the fact that Gen Z is increasingly passionate about scientific research when properly inspired.
VISEF was first organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in 2013. This year, the annual competition was organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in coordination with the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training. Thanks to the assurance of professional, practical and inspirational factors, the competition has received more and more enthusiastic responses from society, and the quality of the program has been increasingly improved.
Specifically in 2024, the program contributed to bringing home a second prize in the System Software category at the ISEF international competition held in the United States.

VISEF originated from the annual International Science and Engineering Fair for Secondary School Students (ISEF), which was established in 1952. To date, ISEF is the world's largest international science and engineering fair for students, attracting thousands of contestants from 80 countries and territories.
Sharing at the VISEF 2025 award ceremony, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong gave the contestants a quote from the late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill that he liked: 'Success is not the final destination, failure is not the end. What matters is the courage to keep going'.

Thanks to the Linearthinking method, two doctor brothers Nguyen Trung Nghia and Nguyen Trung Kien achieved IELTS scores of 7.5 and 8.0 respectively. |
Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong hopes that whether they win or go home empty-handed, young people will continue to strive to study and continue to create value for the community. The path of scientific research is thorny, failure will happen often and only those who are always brave and persistent in "keeping the fire burning" will truly be the winners.
Absolute faith in Vietnamese intelligence
Sharing the reason for joining the event, Mr. Le Dinh Luc - CEO and founder of the English thinking system DOL English - said 'I have known and followed the VISEF competition for a long time and am always proud to see Vietnamese intelligence conquer high positions twice in the international intellectual arena. As a former math student at the High School for the Gifted, Ho Chi Minh City National University, I also have a passion for technology and science'.
Mr. Le Dinh Luc shared that DOL English is also a startup that applies science and technology to help solve the 'problem' of teaching and learning English effectively. The exclusive Linearthinking English thinking method developed by the DOL team is also based on science in general, mathematics in particular... and has proven to be extremely effective in helping thousands of students achieve IELTS 7.0-8.5, recognized by the Department of Intellectual Property.

Because he clearly sees the importance of developing important science and technology as well as completely trusting in Vietnamese intelligence (DOL English is an English teaching system but uses entirely Vietnamese teachers and staff, not foreigners), he said he is always very proud to accompany competitions like VISEF.
'We hope to contribute a small part to help Vietnamese intelligence grow higher and further in the world's knowledge arena,' said Mr. Le Dinh Luc.
