Competition Format
Participants are divided into three age groups:
- Remote Control Group: Ages 3–5
- Programming Group: Ages 4–6
- Programming Group: Ages 7–10
Each competitor receives a "5C Ability Magic Block." The challenge is to use a screen-free programming robot to transport the block to a designated activation zone, then to a "5C Ability Enhancement Area." The block then travels on a large Lego cable car to a "5C Ability Acquisition Zone," where a Lego Spike smart robot sorts it by color into scientific measuring cylinders. The task tests children's thinking, problem-solving, and speed.
