The 2023 LEGO® Education FLL China Open Championship (Intercontinental Tournament) Is Successfully Held in Macao
Co-organized by the FIRST®LEGO® League (FLL League) and Macao Science Center and supported by the Education and Youth Development Bureau, the 2023 LEGO® Education FLL China Open Championship (Intercontinental Tournament) came to a successful close on August 5 in Macao. The competition attracted more than 5,000 players and entourages from the Chinese mainland, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. Under the theme of "Super Powered", the competition set up a team challenge, where participants needed to research the acquisition, storage, consumption and recycling of energy, and provide new solutions on how to optimize the generation and effective application of energy to support energy conservation and green environmental protection.
This is the first large-scale international event of science popularization that the Center has been involved in hosting after the Macao SAR Government launched the 2023 "Educational City & Study Tour" initiative in July this year. The successful organization of the competition in Macao demonstrated the potential of Macao as an "Educational City" and inspired players from all over the world to participate in study tours in Macao. During the stay in Macao, the participants and entourages were relieved from the tension brought by the competition by visiting the Center, traveling around Macao, and enjoying delicious food and hotel accommodations. At the same time, their enthusiasm for studying and traveling in Macao was aroused, allowing them to experience Macao's rich cultural customs and city charms.
With the strong support of the Education and Youth Development Bureau, Macao Science Center expects to continuously perform its strength as a "National Science Popularization and Education Base" and cooperate with the cultural and tourism industries to build Macao into an ideal destination for study tours. In the future, the Center will introduce more representative science competitions from the Greater Bay Area, the Chinese mainland and other countries/regions to build it a "place of heroes" for science competitions. In addition, it will enhance exchanges and cooperation with the cultural and tourism industries to realize crossover integration of science popularization and education with cultural and tourism projects, so as to promote the development of Macao's study tours, cultivate more outstanding scientific innovation talent for Macao, and contribute to the "1+4" moderately diversified economic development of Macao.
