Only when the validated product key matches the manufacturer’s blockchain wallet address will the authentic product key be issued by the manufacturer. The described product helps the manufacturer to activate any product ID that uniquely represents that product using blockchain technology so that the consumer can authenticate the genuine origin of the goods.

By applying image processing, author Truong Viet Cuong from Gia Lai province has developed a machine to select agricultural products (pepper, coffee). The author said that when observing the coffee harvesting process, he realized the need to automate the bean selection process. With available knowledge in mechanics and information technology, the author creates products that help quickly classify nuts such as pepper, coffee according to each standard as well as output directly serving farmers. The author Cuong made an impression when he wanted to work towards a Made in Vietnam project that won over Chinese products in the market.

Author Le Duc Quoc, a teacher from a day-boarding school in Binh Duong province, launched 4.0 technology application to develop temperature measurement products and support remote attendance.

In addition to professional questions, the jury also gave suggestions for developing research directions to perfect the product. The idea of ​​​​building a website to help the Mong ethnic people hear and speak Mandarin so that they can take the motorbike driving license exam by Doan Thi Ha Giang from Dien Bien Ethnic Minority Boarding High School has received encouraging comments. rate.
