Hundreds of "kid robot engineers" compete on the topic of space

NDO - Not only is it an intellectual playground where students can demonstrate their talents and passion, the 2024 Robotics Innovation Competition also acts as a bridge to help students access new technology trends and develop necessary skills in the 21st century such as creative thinking, communication, and teamwork.

Launched by the Center for Science, Technology and Young Talent Development (Cytast, under the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union) last August, the 2024 Robotics Innovation Competition attracted 497 teams nationwide to participate.

The "young engineers" assemble and prepare robots before the competition.

The organizing committee conducted the qualifying round online, scoring through the RoboSim platform and monitoring via cameras. Through this, 157 teams representing the North and 101 teams representing the Central region entered the regional competition round.

The teams will compete in two groups: primary and secondary. The primary group will compete against each other with the theme "Robots building a space base", while the secondary group will compete for points with the theme "Robots traveling to space".

Cytast Director Nguyen Thien Tu said that the Contest is a concrete activity to realize the "Creative Youth" movement launched by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, and at the same time practically raise awareness and promote creativity of young people in researching and effectively applying the 4.0 industrial revolution to real life.

Cytast Director Nguyen Thien Tu shares information about the contest.

According to Mr. Nguyen Thien Tu, the enthusiastic response and large number of teams participating in the competition have proven the attraction of this playground in particular, and the field of STEM Robotics education in general, for Vietnamese teenagers and children. Through the competition, children will have the opportunity to develop soft skills, creative thinking ability, and teamwork skills.
