The first challenge that students face in the final is the cheering performance. After the opening ceremony, 35 teams of students will show their creativity and characteristics, and at the same time select the first creative cheering by voting. In addition to the dance performance of Japanese anime songs, the team “Bobu Jellyfish” also played background music by playing the flute. The team “Happy Jianlun” was presented in the form of short drama performances. The Vietnamese team “PHO” and the team “Where to Go to Play Rabbit” both prepared some snacks and little gifts to share with everyone. Each team have prepared a wonderful cheering performance for everyone to see.
智利隊伍《Lexugaz Shalom》帶來的瑪利歐賽車小短劇榮獲本屆隊呼表演。他們表示，當初在準備的時候，去看了之前的隊呼表演，看到有隊伍準備了電玩相關的話題，所以他們一方面認為要找到大家都會有共鳴的主題，一方面也認為可以從電玩類型的角度下手，最後決定呈現出瑪利歐賽車的小短劇，也成功的抓住大家的眼球。
Finally, the Mario Kart skit presented by the Chilean team “Lexugaz Shalom” won the championship of the cheering performance. They said that when they were preparing, they went to see the previous cheering performances and saw that some teams prepared the cheering performance about video games, so they thought that they should find themes that everyone would resonate with, and also thought that they could also performance something about video games. At last they decided to present a short play of Mario Kart, which also successfully caught everyone’s attention.
決賽展開連續72小時的競賽，各隊伍時間的分配相當重要，除了完成主軸任務外，為了獲得製作主軸任務所需的資金，小鐵人們也必須挑戰自然、藝文、體其三類關卡，競賽過程考驗隊伍的團隊默契，期待小鐵人們能在決賽72小時發揮出100%的自己。
The final has already started. In the face of a 72-hour continuous competition, the allocation of time is very important. In addition to the main level, students will also go to other classrooms to beat the levels, test the teamwork of the students and overcome various difficulties together. Look forward to the students being able to play 100% of themselves in the 72 hours of the final.（記者呂姵潔、江孟紓／採訪報導）
