Tofas International Programming Contest is an educational product of Sprix Japan, considered an international standard academic ability assessment test in 32 countries such as Japan, the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Egypt... with 8 languages ​​and more than 2,000 schools.

With the desire to inspire a passion for programming to spread widely in Vietnam, not only for students and technology people, Tofas brings the competition to the street experience. Accordingly, Tofas representative will invite any passerby to experience the Visual Basic language test - the most basic introduction to programming.

Players just need to choose 1 of 4 commands that they think is suitable for the character's movements in the clip. The Tofas website interface is rated by everyone as having a clear, vivid layout, and there is also a video tutorial on how to do the exercises before starting, so it is very easy to understand.

Sisters Gia Han and Gia Hue were extremely excited when they were invited to experience the Visual test. The children watched a clip of a penguin zooming in, zooming out, rotating, and then chose the command combination with the steps that they thought were correct in the order of the penguin's movements. Taking the test together, the two sisters showed great agreement when they both chose the same answer.

The next participants were Vo Hong Thuy Van and Nguyen Thi Phuong Thanh (students of Van Lang University). Van and Thanh were quite surprised because their programming background was mind-bending series of numbers, and they did not expect the test to be so fun and interesting.

As a second-year student at RMIT University, this is the first time Tan Vuong has experienced this subject. Vuong said that he and his father knew about the International Programming Competition in the press but did not dare to register because he thought he did not know about programming.

Up until now, he has always been curious about the world of programming, wondering how to create technological products like robots. The first time he experienced it, Tan Vuong felt very interested in this subject of logic.

Those who often wander around the Notre Dame Cathedral and the City Post Office are probably familiar with Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung - 60 years old, who works as a photographer for tourists. When invited to try out Visual Basic, Mr. Hung was very excited and did not expect programming to be so easy to understand.

Like Mr. Hung, a salesman in District 1 also had his first exposure to a programming test. After being explained by a representative of Sprix Vietnam, he also began to be interested in programming and agreed that this subject is not too difficult, anyone can do it with basic languages.
