Young builders from Malaysia and the Philippines emerged as champions at the LEGOLAND School Challenge 2026, the fifth edition of Asia’s largest interschool LEGO building competition, organised in partnership with Malaysia’s Ministry of Education.
Puteri Mini Makers from SK Cyberjaya, Selangor, were crowned Junior Category champions, while The Mavericks from SK Kubang Kerian 3, Kelantan, took the Primary Category title. In the Secondary Category, AJHS BluBLOC from Ateneo de Manila Junior High School, Philippines, emerged victorious.
Now in its fifth year, the Challenge saw 15 outstanding teams advance to the Grand Finale from 451 submissions across three age categories, bringing together young builders from six countries, Malaysia, India, Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and China under the theme ‘The Ultimate Theme Park Ride’, showcasing their creativity, imagination and technical skills.
“We are pleased to see the LEGOLAND School Challenge continue to inspire young builders to push their creativity further each year. With a new theme for every edition, students are challenged to explore new ideas and bring their imagination to life through LEGO. This year, we were especially encouraged to see how students interpreted the theme in their own unique ways, demonstrating creativity, problem-solving and teamwork,” said Cs Lim, Vice President of LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort.
“At LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, learning can be an exciting and hands-on experience. Through LEGO building, children are encouraged to explore STEM concepts, test their ideas and learn from the building process, while developing the confidence to think creatively and approach challenges from varied perspectives.”
Anchored in LEGO’s DNA of learning through play, the Challenge gives students a way to explore STEAM concepts, build confidence, and express creativity while developing skills in teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking.
This year, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort has once again partnered with global one-stop travel platform Trip.com to reward the competition’s best builders. The Primary and Secondary Category champions will embark on an incredible trip to LEGOLAND Shanghai, while the Junior Category champion will win a trip to LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, with curated travel arrangements and experiences to make their journeys seamless.
All category champions will also receive a LEGOLAND Malaysia Annual Pass, an iconic LEGO trophy, LEGO sets for each team member and a Certificate of Achievement, recognising their creativity, teamwork and achievements throughout the competition.
Finalists’ creations will be on display at MINILAND, LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort until December 2026, giving park guests a closer look at the creativity and imagination behind this year’s standout builds.
