After three months of operation, the contest has attracted participants of many different ages. The authors are diverse in age, they work in many different professions such as teachers, housewives, students, etc., and have brought a multi-dimensional perspective on the issue of saving electricity in real life. Each item is regarded as a "handbook" for utilizing power efficiently. Each individual's tiny activities contribute to raising society's overall understanding of how to use power more efficiently. Ton Duc Thang University's Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (FEEE) students paid close attention and participated actively in the tournament.
With good professional knowledge, students from the FEEE have published several papers with innovative methods for conserving power and have won numerous honors in this competition.
