A contest to design, build and programme robots from LEGO pieces for primary school pupils will be held in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang in May.

Primary school students learn how to design and programme robots

It will be jointly organised by the departments of Education and Training of the two localities, the Viet Tinh Anh Joint Stock Company’s LEGO Education, and HTV3 channel.

The two best teams in the contest will qualify for the First Lego League Asia-Pacific Open Championship which will take place in Australia in July.

Mr Nguyen Quang Vinh, Head of the Primary Education Division of the HCM City Department of Education and Training, said that the contest would help pupils use the knowledge they acquire in science and maths to design and programme robots.

It would help develop their creativeness, he said.
