From understanding mechanical structures and the principles of power transmission to tightening each screw with their own hands, students experience every step of building a vehicle in a sparks-flying workshop environment. Abstract physics and engineering concepts are transformed into a tangible, drivable creation. Through teamwork, problem-solving and systems thinking, students are no longer spectators of racing—they become “engineers” who participate in the full process of designing and constructing a go-kart.

The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), founded in 2007 by the U.S.-based nonprofit organization FIRST, is an international youth robotics competition that rigorously tests students’ comprehensive abilities.

From team formation and programming to mechanical design and strategic gameplay, students integrate coding skills, engineering concepts, strategic planning and professional competencies as they prepare and compete under high-intensity conditions. Throughout this process, they grow into collaborative innovators capable of tackling complex challenges.

When a child’s imagination leaps from the digital screen into a tangible, holdable object, the spark of creation is ignited. 3D printing empowers students to bring ideas to life—whether designing a custom part to solve a real-world problem or transforming artistic inspiration into a unique cultural artifact. This hands-on process sharpens spatial reasoning, nurtures innovative design thinking, and builds competency in digital fabrication. Here, every child is empowered not only to dream, but to create.
