LEGOLAND Malaysia to stage Asia's Biggest School LEGO Challenge in 2025
In collaboration with Malaysia's Ministry of Education, this event marks a new beginning for a challenge that began in 2022. Now, in 2025, the edition will be more promising, with exciting new features, bigger prizes, and unforgettable experiences.
Vice President of LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, Cs Lim, remarked: 'The LEGOLAND School Challenge has always been more than just a competition. As an event centered around our LEGO DNA of learning through play, it helps cultivate essential skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation in our future leaders. Since we expanded last year to include participation from schools across Asia, this has also become an avenue for cultural exchange for students and teachers alike. We look forward to welcoming more participants this year across the region and seeing their creativity unleashed.'

With a new theme, 'Build Your Dream Destination,' the 2025 LEGOLAND School Challenge is open to three age groups: seven to nine, 10 to 12, and 13 to 17. This year, the competition invites students to imagine their desired travel getaway and bring it to life through LEGO bricks.
Moreover, participants are encouraged to let their imaginations be limitless–from futuristic underwater cities to dreamlands in space–and tell a story through their work. With the students' design skills and technical building techniques, they will be able to visualise and present their dream destinations in a colourful and inspiring way. What's new in 2025?
For this year, the 2025 LEGOLAND School Challenge has two exciting additions to make the event more exciting. Bigger Prizes: Grand Prizes Go Global
Winners in the Primary and Secondary categories will win a trip to LEGOLAND Korea, while champions in the Junior category will have a special getaway at LEGOLAND Malaysia. New element: Speed Building Showdown
The finale will include a live Speed Building Challenge, in which the top five finalist teams in each age group will compete in front of the judges and a live audience. They will race and complete a unique LEGO set in just 45 minutes.
Furthermore, finalist teams will also be awarded a three-day, two-night stay at the LEGOLAND Hotel, with exclusive LEGO trophies, LEGO sets, and annual passes to LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort.
Nathanael Yap, a three-time Grand Prize winner, admitted: 'Being part of the LEGOLAND School Challenge for three years in a row was honestly one of the best parts of my school life. Every year, I got to team up with friends, solve problems in creative ways, and build something we were proud of — brick by brick. It taught me how fun learning can be when you get to think outside the box.'
He added: Even though I've graduated and can't take part anymore, the experience has stayed with me. As I look ahead to university and start thinking more seriously about my future, I realise how much the Challenge helped shape my interests, especially in areas like design, engineering, and creative thinking. I'm excited to see what this year's participants will build, and I hope they take the chance to push themselves and discover what they're capable of.'
To join the event, each team must have three to four students and one teacher. Registration is now open and will close on Jun 15, 2025. You can sign up here: LEGOLAND School Challenge Registration .

Chinese authorities warn comedians against provoking 'gender opposition'
BEIJING: Chinese officials have warned comedians against stirring up gender discord, instructing those who invoke a battle of the sexes to criticise constructively rather than "for the sake of being funny". The WeChat article posted over the weekend by authorities in eastern Zhejiang province comes after a comedian detailed her abusive marriage in a performance that went viral on Chinese social media. Women's rights are sensitive territory in China - over the last decade, authorities have cracked down on almost every form of independent feminist activism. Zhejiang's publicity department chastised some comedy shows for becoming a "battlefield" and simplifying gender issues into "opposition between men and women". "Criticism is obviously fine, but it should be ... constructive rather than revolve around gender opposition for the sake of being funny," Sunday's WeChat article read. The department also offered comedians tips on how to discuss gender in their sets. "Instead of mocking 'blindly confident men' it is better to explore the social causes for this mentality", it suggested. "Instead of blindly ridiculing 'materialistic women', it is better to reflect on how consumerism shapes gender roles." The warning did not name a specific comedian, but called out streaming platform iQiyi's "The King of Stand-up Comedy", and mentioned a newcomer dubbed an "industry gem" online. Earlier this month, the show broadcast a performance by Fan Chunli - who goes by the stage name "Fangzhuren" - an affable 50-year-old whose set revolved around her abusive marriage. Members of the audience were moved to tears and many stood to applaud when she revealed she had left her ex-husband. Clips of her set spread across the Chinese internet, earning the former sanitation worker from northern Shandong province legions of new fans. "I hope Fangzhuren's ex-husband hears this and dies of anger," reads the top-liked comment under a clip re-shared by the programme's official Weibo account. "JUST SAYING FACTS" The Chinese arts scene has always been censored by the ruling Communist Party, and authorities have tightened that oversight in the past decade. But Sunday's warning sparked some criticism online. "Just saying the facts of what happened is provoking opposition between men and women?" one top-liked Weibo comment reads. "Once something is discussed from a female perspective it is labelled gender opposition, isn't that too sensitive," reads another. Other women have faced backlash for joking about gender issues in the past. Last year, retail giant dropped its sponsorship of Yang Li, a comedian known for asking why men "look so mediocre yet still have so much self-confidence". Irked customers, mostly men, filled the company's social media with angry comments after Yang appeared at a promotional event. But this month, fans applauded Fangzhuren for telling her story. "The environment changes people, and will prompt women's awakening," she posted on Weibo.
