An Khánh Primary School won the first prize in the NXT veterans division besides other prizes.
EV3, NXT and VEX are the names of robots used in the contest.
The theme this year was the “Internet of things”, a hot technological trend globally, and contestants had to make robots and programme them to collect and deliver data.
The annual contest attracted 67 teams from primary and secondary schools. It was organised by the city Department of Education and Training and DTT-Eduspec Joint Venture.
Similar contests were also held in Đà Nẵng and Hà Nội on October 30 and November 5.- VNS
