The contest attracted nearly 1,000 entries from thousands of young people and teenagers from many countries.

In which, winning the Champion of the Asia-Pacific region are 3 faces from Hoa Binh province: Dang Hai Dang, Nguyen Duc Manh (Cong Nghiep High School), Bui Minh Nhat (Provincial Ethnic Boarding High School for Minorities). With the project "Healthcare Support System for the Elderly”, the contestants were highly appreciated by the contest judges for their creativity, innovation and offering superior solutions to the elderly. This is also the first Vietnamese student team to win the Champion award at the DO YOUR: BIT Contest.
Before coming to the DO YOUR: BIT contest, Dang, Manh, Nhat and 10 other students in the province tried their best at the 11th World Invention and Invention Olympiad (WICO 2022), held in Korea. This is an annual competition organized by the Association of Inventions and Discoveries of Korean Universities and is sponsored by the National Assembly of Korea. As an annual international science event for high school students around the world, WICO 2022 has attracted 1,480 students and teachers from 22 countries with a total of 853 inventions. Our province has 3 teams with a total of 13 students participated the contest. As a result, all 3 projects of 3 teams excellently won the gold medals. This is also the leading outstanding achievement of our students when participating in the international intellectual playgrounds.
Dang Hai Dang - a student from Cong Nghiep High School shared: When participating the international intellectual playground such as WICO 2022 and DO YOUR: BIT, we have learned a lot of useful things, and at the same time, we can gain more knowledge and skills to choose future career opportunities. Those are very interesting and meaningful experiences for me and my teammates. In particular, winning at two prestigious international competitions such as WICO 2022 and DO YOUR: BIT has created a strong motivation for us to continue pursuing our passion for technology and computer science, opening up the opportunites and and belief to become the programmers in the future.
It is known that over the past time, the provincial Department of Education and Training has synchronously implemented the solutions to improve the effectiveness of career orientation for high school students - with a focus on the students from high schools. In which, the students are encouraged to participate the useful intellectual playgrounds such as the Creative competition for youth and children at all levels (held every school year); the Provincial Technical Innovation Contest organized by the Union of Science and Technology Associations held every 2 years; the "Creative Youth” movement with the core being the movement "Each union member and youth has a creative idea and initiative” launched by the Provincial Youth Communist Union in the period of 2018 - 2022; the regional and international creative competitions such as "Together with you to create the future”, WICO, etc. These are the positive environments that help arouse the creative spirit of youth, and promote the role of a bridge of the Youth Communist Union, helping the creative ideas of the union members and young people to be realized. Especially, when participating such creative intellectual playgrounds, each student can practice skills, improve knowledge, have more determination and effective orientation to find opportunities to start up. These are the core values to create the future, starting from the useful intellectual playgrounds.
