In an effort to strengthen an education ecosystem that can adapt to future technological advancements, FPT Schools has officially introduced a dedicated AI and Robotics learning arena for high school students across Vietnam. The program is titled the FPT Schools AI & Robotics Challenge (FAnRoC) 2025–2026.

FAnRoC is not only positioned as an international-standard competition in AI and Robotics, but also as a platform to foster technological enthusiasm and social awareness among the younger generation. The program supports the implementation of various strategic government policies, including Resolution 57/NQ-TW on accelerating the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, as well as Resolution 71-NQ/TW, which highlights major leaps in education and training development.

Through this initiative, students are guided to understand how technology can be applied in real-world contexts to build a more sustainable future.

Dr. Nguyen Xuan Phong, Director of the FPT High School System – FPT Corporation, stated:

"This year, the FAnRoC initiative was created with the hope of igniting a passion for scientific and technological research and innovation among students nationwide. This competition will create opportunities for students to explore their potential, contribute to discovering and nurturing young talent, and ultimately help build a high-quality human resource pool for the future."

One of FAnRoC’s strengths lies in its international alignment. All rules, testing mechanisms, and competition formats for the robotics category are developed based on the framework of the FIRST Global Challenge (FGC)—one of the world’s largest robotics competitions.

The competition series will begin in November 2025, featuring AI and Robotics rounds held across 17 FPT School campuses nationwide. The national final is scheduled for March 15, 2026, in Hanoi.

Throughout the program period, students and their coaches will undergo intensive training in AI and Robotics, guided by technology experts, professional mentors, and guest speakers from both within and outside FPT.
