LEGOLAND\u00ae Dubai<\/a> Resort has launched the Junior LEGO\u00ae Builder: School Challenge Edition<\/strong>, a first-of-its-kind inter-school competition inviting 220 schools across Dubai to take part in a creative, play-based learning experience for students aged 6 to 12.<\/p>\n

Created to nurture the Builders of Tomorrow, the initiative empowers students to represent their schools through hands-on LEGO\u00ae building, celebrating creativity, teamwork and problem-solving through play. Fully led by LEGOLAND\u00ae Dubai Resort, the competition encourages children to step away from screens and engage in collaborative, experiential learning in a supportive, family-friendly environment.<\/p>\n

A Two-Stage Journey from Classroom to Theme Park<\/h3>\n

The Junior LEGO\u00ae Builder: School Challenge Edition <\/strong>will take place across two stages, beginning in schools before culminating in a live final at LEGOLAND\u00ae Dubai Resort.<\/p>\n

During Stage One, each participating school may nominate one team, made up of four students aged 6 to 12 and one supervising teacher. Teams are challenged to design and build their \u201cTheme Park of the Future\u201d using LEGO\u00ae bricks, imagining an inclusive, sustainable and technology-powered theme park filled with innovative attractions and creative experiences that families of tomorrow would love.<\/p>\n

Schools will submit their entry online by sharing photos of the build, a short written description and a video of the final creation.<\/p>\n

Following this, 15 teams will progress to Stage Two, an exciting live build-off hosted at LEGOLAND\u00ae Dubai Resort, where the final theme will be revealed. The live final will takeplace as part of the Resort\u2019s 10th anniversary celebrations, offering students the opportunity to build together in a dynamic, real-world setting.<\/p>\n

Prizes That Celebrate Creativity and Teamwork<\/h3>\n

Winning teams will be recognised with LEGO\u00ae trophies for first, second and third place, alongside a Winning Class Experience that includes a full-day visit to LEGOLAND\u00ae Dubai Resort and an exclusive LEGO\u00ae workshop with a Master Model Builder, offering students a unique behind-the-scenes insight into professional LEGO\u00ae creativity and design.<\/p>\n

In a special legacy moment, the overall winning model will be rebuilt at scale and permanently displayed in MINILAND at LEGOLAND\u00ae Dubai Resort, celebrating the imagination of Dubai\u2019s young builders and marking the Park\u2019s milestone anniversary.<\/p>\n

Building Skills for the Future<\/h3>\n

By blending creativity with collaboration, the Junior LEGO\u00ae Builder: School Challenge Edition aims to nurture essential skills including communication, critical thinking, teamwork and confidence, all through the power of play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Junior LEGO\u00ae Builder: School Challenge Edition, we\u2019re proud to\u00a0 give students meaningful opportunities to learn through play. By encouraging children to build, experiment, and collaborate, the Challenge supports hands-on learning that helps bring classroom ideas to life in a fun, engaging way.\u201d<\/em>
