MakeX is a global, STEAM-focused robotics competition platform designed for young innovators aged 6 to 18. Participants collaborate in teams guided by mentors to design, build, and program robots that address real-world challenges through creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. The competition features multiple age-based divisions—including Spark (6–13), Inspire (6–12), Explorer (8–15), and Challenge (11–18)—in both online and onsite formats. Each annual season revolves around a central theme (e.g., “Dream Home” for Spark or “Smart Logistics” for Inspire), with regional tournaments leading to national and global finals.
