The National Science and Technology Competition for high school students was first organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in 2013. Since then, the competition has been held once a year in the second semester of the school year. From 2013 to 2019, the competition was held at two locations in the North and South with 4-6 projects/units participating and was held in different localities.

In 2025, the first Science and Technology Competition will be held according to the provisions of Circular 06/2024/TT-BGDDT issued by the Ministry of Education and Training on April 10, 2024. Accordingly, the participating units are the Departments of Education and Training, each participating unit can register a maximum of 3 competition projects; the Departments of Education and Training of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, each unit can register a maximum of 6 competition projects. For participating units that are schools under the ministry, universities, colleges, institutes, and academies, each unit can register a maximum of 2 competition projects. The unit hosting the competition can register a maximum of 6 competition projects; the unit hosting the competition is the Department of Education and Training of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, each unit can register a maximum of 12 competition projects.
