LEGOLAND School Challenge 2023 returns with exciting news
LEGO has been something children in the early 90s played with during their playtime in the evenings and school holidays. Did you know that you can come up with 915,103,765 combinations with just 6 LEGO blocks? It all depends on your creativity. In 2022, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort launched the first LEGOLAND School Challenge, which saw 205 participants. This year they are expecting at least 400 participants.

One of the key perks of entering this competition is that the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MoE) recognizes the benefits of the program and has extended its support for the competition. This means Malaysian students can participate in the LEGOLAND School Challenge 2023 as an extracurricular activity with the help of the MoE.
