LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort today (May 17) announced the return of the LEGOLAND School Challenge 2023 powered by Iskandar Investment Berhad, a coveted competition where primary and secondary school children get to showcase their ingenuity and creativity through LEGO® Model Building. Back for its second year, the competition is open to students from ASEAN countries for the first time, including schools from Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
The LEGOLAND School Challenge 2023 is designed to help students cultivate various soft skills, including teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving and self-confidence. The Malaysian Ministry of Education (MoE) recognises the program’s benefits and has extended its endorsement for the competition. With MoE’s support, Malaysian students can add their participation in the LEGOLAND School Challenge 2023 as their extracurricular activities.
This year’s challenge theme calls for students to imagine and build Cities of The Future in LEGO bricks. Students can participate in the challenge in a few easy steps to stand a chance to win their share of prizes worth up to a total of RM100,000:
- First, students need to form groups of 5-15 students with 1-3 teachers and register their group on the LEGOLAND School Challenge 2023 website from now until 26 May.
- Once they have been registered, student teams need to ideate and start building their futuristic LEGO cities.
- For their final submission, teams need to upload pictures of their model alongside a photo, video, and written description about their design.
- Submissions will be reviewed by an expert panel from LEGOLAND Malaysia, including a team of Master Model Builders.
- Ten winning teams from two categories will be selected and invited to LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort for a prize-giving ceremony. Winners will also have a chance to display their builds in the resort for one month where guests can admire their creations.
