CODE TOUR – ALGORITHMIC BATTLEFIELD FOR YOUNG TECH TALENTS
Launched in 2018, Code Tour—formerly known as Saigon Code Tour—is an open programming competition designed for technology enthusiasts in Ho Chi Minh City. Contestants are challenged to solve algorithmic problems and problem-solving tasks within a limited timeframe.
Over the past six years, Code Tour has welcomed 8,000 participants across 35 Code Challenge rounds, making it one of the most well-known programming competitions among IT students. In 2024, the event hit a record-breaking milestone with over 3,000 registered contestants, including 195 participants achieving a perfect score of 100/100 in the competition rounds.
2024 marks the first-ever collaboration between Code Tour and the VNOI to pilot the competition on the VNOJ online platform.
"Code Tour is a valuable playground for IT students in particular and programming enthusiasts in general. This collaboration will create even more meaningful opportunities, helping young programmers hone their skills and nurture their passion. Competitions like Code Tour will contribute to fostering a stronger learning and research culture in the IT sector in Vietnam," shared a VNOI representative.
With the goal of creating a platform for thousands of young talents across Vietnam, Code Tour has become an integral part of VNG’s "Grow People" mission, fostering continuous learning and development for the tech community.
