Applying technology for teaching in classrooms is not a new tendency of Eduspec-DTT that specializes in supplying educational products with high quality and systems of school administration in the Southeast Asia during the last 3 decades. In Vietnam, technology with effective learning tools have been applied in classrooms; as, it is believed that using technology to learn other technologies is one of the effective learning methods, which is widely applied in countries with advanced education. One of the subjects is Robotics Learning Solution.

Applying Robotics via a variety of learning solutions in a structured and interesting classroom helps children create a “real” world for themselves by assembling robots with the LEGO sets, or, creating simple programs on computer and transfer to robots that will operate according to their own requirements. This is the process of changing knowledge from abstract to concrete, which helps children be able to evaluate the results of their work through the activity robots.

Mr. Andrew M. Amalfitano - Vice President of global operations, under the Carnegie Mellon University (US) believes that in the near future Vietnam students will also develop their skills on robotics as American students do. Since 2010, DTT has associated with Eduspec Group to conduct education services based on IT in the model of socialization (PPP). With the permission of the Ministry of Education and Training, DTT- Eduspec consortium initially implemented this model in Doan Thi Diem Private Primary School and Xuan Dinh Primary School. In 2013, the first time Vietnam's robotics team won the primary championship for the first time and many high awards in international competitions. This will be a stepping-stone for Vietnamese students increasingly to empower their position in robots arena as well as Vietnam technology. Every year, DTT- Eduspec regularly organizes national-level Robotics Competition (Robothon) and International Robotics Competition (DYA) so that students have the opportunity to compete with internal and external friends.
