The two Great and Great twins are identical both in appearance and creative passion. The family situation was very difficult, the father died early when the boys were only four years old, the mother had to live in the night and on the field and the profession of making noodle for her sister and the two boys at school.

All day, they all help their mother with the housework, but whenever they are free, the two siblings will look for old objects and scrap made into toys and learning tools. Everything that seems to have been removed, into your hands can turn into useful products.

Since high school, the two brothers have successfully built duck catching robots, radio stations, measuring the percentage of geographic charting . When the school launched a contest to write because of my mother's blue sea, The two of them thought it was not enough to write articles, it was necessary to take practical action to contribute to preserving the marine environment.

The idea of ​​making robots can walk and scavenge garbage on the water surface . The principle of operation of this robot is quite simple, easy to control, including two sections of water buoy and plastic floor mounted garbage bin, on the floor there are two vertical pillars, one side of the rotating arm shaft, one side installation of rotary motor. The incline is fixed to the trash, the buoy tail with two engines can move in the direction.

Most of the parts are taken from old and broken objects, and things that cannot be taken advantage of, the two brothers ask for money from their mother, and ride nearly 30 km to the Iron market. The product was submitted to the National Competition for Youth, Children, and Children in 2005, organized by the Youth Union when it was almost expired, the post office refused to deliver the product because it was cumbersome and easy to break. broken.

Loving students and appreciating creativity, teacher Le Van Tram brought Dai by motorbike to the Central Union to pay products. Looks like heaven is not hard work of two brothers and teachers in the school, the product won the first prize in the competition and also selected by the standing body of the VIFOTEC competition to attend the international exhibition on scientific innovation Techniques for students in 2006 held in Seoul (South Korea).

However, robots through many displays and tests did not guarantee technical and artistic accuracy. The School Board of Do Son High School assists the two boys with the amount of one million dong to buy new model fabrication materials. Only two days left to board the plane to Korea, the two of you were informed that the model was too cumbersome to take it.

Determined not to give up , within half a day, the two brothers built a compact model that still had high accuracy. ' Take the bell to punch people ', the product of two poor schoolboys in the sea won the Golden Cup and the Thai Creative Association for a special award.

After the first international award, the two brothers embarked on their passion for creating practical new tools and widgets in their families and lives. The two of them talked about the idea of ​​creating a simple, simple way: to make their mother an automatic noodle making machine, so that her mother would be less strenuous in her daily work. Or the alarm pillow, which works correctly but does not cause sound to affect others. There are many, many unique ideas in your mind, stemming from the desire to create, serve life.
