In addition, 10 schools connected via Google Hangouts from India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Ho Chi Minh City, USA, and Uzbekistan.

Special announcement:

We are proud of our own BIS student Do Tuong Anh (Year 6) who came in 2^nd place for her competition game entry called “Defend The Earth”.

Here is a picture of Tuong Anh presenting her game during the Coding Slam. Tuong Anh had 1 minute to present her game:

Special Mention:

Coco (Trong Nhan) (left) was a very competent presenter of his game. Here he is explaining to Anh Khoi how to play his game. Anh Khoi is using “Piano Stairs” to play the game with his feet.

Coco attracted crowds of children and teachers excited to play his game with their feet. Coco taught each one how to play it and helped them out.
