The school has 9 students divided into 5 teams, of which 1 team won first prize and encouragement prize in the intermediate category. They are Truong Nguyen Tri and Nguyen Pham Lam Phong (class 5A2, both won first prize), and Nguyen Minh Khang (class 3A1, won encouragement prize).

"This year's competition is more difficult than previous years with many tasks, and there is not much time to prepare for the international competition. However, with their best efforts, the students have achieved high results for the Can Tho team" - Ms. Nhung informed.

According to Ms. Pham Thi Truc Linh, the instructor of the competing teams, the theme of this year's competition is "Digital Nexus - Industrial Revolution 5.0" with the specific task of setting up data attached to blockchain, quantum encryption and activating AI...

Truong Nguyen Tri and Nguyen Pham Lam Phong won first prize in the intermediate category at the 2024 International Robothon competition.

"In previous years, students only had to run the robot and perform 1-2 random tasks at the end. This year, it is more difficult because in addition to programming the robot to run, students also have to install an AI model using electrical circuits and have up to 3 random tasks," said Ms. Linh.

This year's competition was very difficult but Can Tho students still achieved high results.

Truong Nguyen Tri confided: "This year, I see that the opponents are very strong, with their own strategies, but they are very united. Through the competition, I feel more confident and can exchange and learn about Robothon with students from other countries.

This is the second consecutive year that Binh Thuy Primary School has had students win high prizes at the international robothon competition.

In the 2023 international robothon competition, Binh Thuy Primary School had 8 students competing and winning the championship, first prize, second prize and third prize.
