At the final round of the competition, Hue City had two projects selected as finalists. These are the project titled “Tea, instant cereal, and lozenges made from Kim Thuy Luc Quan remedy of the Imperial Medical Institute under the Nguyen Dynasty to treat respiratory problems” by students from Phu Bai High School, and another titled “Materials for crafting Hue conical hats and Sinh village paintings from banana tree waste and oyster shells” by students from Thua Luu High School.
