The "Global Robotics Game 2025" competition focuses on the theme "Zero Poverty" in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, while WRO 2025 has the theme "The Future of Robotics" and focuses on exploring Mars.

The NS Pluto team brilliantly won the championship at the Global Robotics Games 2025 in Singapore. At this international competition, which brought together 240 outstanding contestants from many countries around the world , the NS PLUTO warriors successfully overcame all challenges, conquering the MRI category with the top prize going to: Nguyen Minh Khoi, 7 years old, from Hanoi Star Primary and Secondary School; and Nguyen Hoang Minh, 9 years old, from Nguyen Sieu Primary School.

Nguyen Minh Khoi, a student in class 2A4 at Hanoi Star Primary and Secondary School, has demonstrated his determination and passion for STEM and robotics. In early August 2025, the Vietnamese Robotacon team received continuous good news from Minh Khoi at major competitions. At the First Lego League Asia Open Championship 2025 held in Macao, Minh Khoi and his team Pluto competed against over 420 teams from 21 countries and territories, including: China, Macao, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, Canada, Romania, Rwanda, Nigeria, France, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany…

With the theme "Submerged," contestants embarked on a journey to explore the ocean, learn about marine ecosystems, and propose innovative solutions for a greener future. In the competition, teams competed in the following areas: building innovative solutions using LEGO models, designing posters to showcase their ideas, and presenting and debating directly before an international judging panel.

Competing with all their might, Minh Khoi and the Pluto team won the "Team Poster Award," an award honoring the team with the most impressive poster, which was required to showcase intelligence, creativity, and the ability to convey ideas persuasively.

Previously, at the National Finals of the WRO - Global Robotics Games, Minh Khoi and his team Pluto also excellently reached the Top 4, successfully securing a spot to represent Vietnam at the World Finals held in Singapore (expected to take place in November 2025). This is a brilliant milestone that Minh Khoi has achieved at the STEM Robotics Robotacon WRO 2025, one of the largest national technology competitions with the theme "The Future of Robots".

The competition brought together 1,235 contestants from 278 schools across the country, all sharing a common aspiration to conquer the future through technology, creativity, and solution-oriented thinking. To reach the Top 4, Minh Khoi and his Pluto team overcame 65 other teams, making their mark with intelligence, courage, and excellent teamwork. The children not only conquered the challenges of programming and designing robots, but also clearly demonstrated their understanding of how to apply robots to build a sustainable, intelligent, and humane future.

This victory is not only an achievement for the NS PLUTO team, but also a source of shared pride for Vietnamese youth who are passionate about robotics.
