The event, organized by FPT Schools, followed a preliminary AI round conducted on computers on January 17. At the finals, students assembled, programmed, and optimized robots using standardized kits before competing directly on the field.
A total of 13 prizes were awarded. In the open category, judges selected one first prize, two second prizes, two third prizes, and two promising team awards. The internal category recorded one first prize, one second prize, two third prizes, and two promising team awards.
Teams claiming first and second prizes in both categories will represent the region at the national finals scheduled for March 21 in Hanoi.
Running alongside the main event, a Hackathon was held for students from FPT High School Quy Nhơn with an interest in programming and generative AI. Participants used GenAI tools to design algorithms, write code, and develop solutions to assigned challenges within a limited timeframe.
Organizers said the competition aims to strengthen STEM education and expand technological skills among secondary school students. Through hands-on AI and robotics work, participants develop logical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving capabilities.
