With prizes totaling VND150 million, the contest attracts 59 teams of more than 150 students and 70 information technology specialists across the country.

Each team has 48 hours to develop a game in line with the theme “Sustainability”, through which the organizer encourages individual responsibility for sustainability to protect the environment and promote socio-economic development.
