The competition will consist of 30 teams each in the elementary division (grades 4 to 6) and the middle school division (grades 7 to 9). Under the theme of "Solving Social Issues for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Growth," participants will address six environmental issues using block coding and autonomous driving methods. Prior to the main event, a preliminary test will be held on September 13 and 14, after which the final 30 teams will be selected.

Kim Jinguk, Senior Researcher at the Science Education Office, said, "I hope this will be an opportunity for students to expand their integrative thinking by considering solutions to environmental and social problems through block coding," adding, "We will continue to work towards spreading a science culture that is easily accessible to everyone."
