With more than 800 teams and nearly 3,600 registered members from provinces and cities across the country, FARC 2025 is one of the largest technology competitions for high school students in Vietnam.

The competition consists of 4 rounds: AI programming, Robotics competition, regional finals and national finals, helping students not only access practical technology but also practice skills such as teamwork, tactical thinking and problem solving, important competencies in the digital age.

With the theme of "Sustainable Agriculture", each match will have four participating teams forming two competing alliances to directly carry out the task of transporting "soil" and "seeds" into the "greenhouse", thereby producing and harvesting different types of agricultural products, supporting agricultural production.

During the 2 minutes and 30 seconds of each match, the teams in the alliance must coordinate effectively and smoothly to achieve success in this challenge.

After 4 rounds of intense ranking, the 8 highest scoring teams will choose their own alliance team to create 16 teams to enter the final round of the final. This is a comprehensive test of ability, flexibility and cooperation.

The final ranking of the alliances is calculated by the total points of the matches in this round.
