School year 2021-2022, althoughCovid-19 epidemichas impacted learning and scientific research, but the scientific research movement in schools is still maintained and implemented effectively.

Therefore, although this is the first year that the Science and Technology Competition is organized online, the competition still attracts 172 projects in 14 fields from 326 authors at secondary and high school levels. This proves that the competitionScience and Technologyis increasingly spreading throughout all regions of the province with the participation of students from all levels from grade 8 to grade 12 in both favorable and difficult areas.

According to the Organizing Committee's assessment, most of the projects presented many new scientific ideas; the authors had research skills and proposed quite complete solutions; many projects were practical and highly feasible, demonstrating a passion for scientific research, applying learned knowledge into practice and creating a useful playground for secondary and high school students in the whole province.

Many topics approach large, general issues or use advanced techniques in university and hospital laboratories; specialized agencies... This helps train students' scientific research capacity and shows the connection between high schools and universities and specialized agencies.

In addition, some topics raise the issue of innovation and integration to have smart devices to meet the needs of the community in health care, production, learning and life services.
