第 23 屆智慧鐵人創意競賽決賽於國立宜蘭大學盛大登場！創立於 1926 年的國立宜蘭大學，是全台唯一擁有校園列冊遺址的百年學府，今年適逢創校百年的盛大時刻，讓這場智鐵決賽更添歷史意義。來自國內外的優秀高中職生齊聚一堂，穿梭在充滿文化底蘊的校園中揮灑創意，全力角逐冠軍寶座。

The finals of the 23rd Intelligent Ironman Creativity Contest opened at National Ilan University (NIU). Founded in 1926, NIU is a century-old institution and the only university in Taiwan with a registered archaeological site on its campus. With the university celebrating its centennial this year, the contest carried even greater historical significance. Outstanding senior and vocational high school students from Taiwan and abroad gathered on the culturally rich campus, showcasing their creativity as they competed for the championship.

本次決賽關卡「噶瑪蘭奇幻之旅」結合校園遺址的實境關卡，宜蘭大學陳威戎校長特別介紹了宜大神農校總區的獨特魅力。宜蘭大學在考據校史的過程中，發現 400 多年前噶瑪蘭族人便在此生活，這讓宜大成為全台唯一擁有校園列冊遺址（宜蘭農校遺址）的大學。校長進一步說明，將這些珍貴的文化元素，如萬斌廳的出土文物、噶瑪蘭文化廊道的先民生活縮影，以及展示百年地景變遷的「宜大記憶庫」融入關卡中，目的就是希望參賽隊伍能在闖關挑戰中，透過實地走訪，深刻感受這片土地的歷史深度。這種探究精神，正是宜蘭大學培育「公民力」、「專業力」及「健康力」核心人才的基石。

The final-round challenge, “A Fantasy Journey to Kavalan,” transformed NIU’s campus archaeological site into an immersive competition arena. NIU President Wei-Rong Chen highlighted the distinctive character of the university’s Shennong Campus. While researching the university’s history, NIU discovered that the Kavalan people had lived on this land more than 400 years ago. This discovery made NIU the only university in Taiwan with a registered archaeological site—the Yilan Agricultural School Archaeological Site—located on its campus.

President Chen explained that the challenge incorporated valuable cultural elements from across the university, including excavated artifacts displayed in Wanbin Hall, representations of early Kavalan life along the Kavalan Cultural Corridor, and a century of changes to the campus landscape presented in the NIU History Gallery. By visiting these locations in person during the challenge, contestants could gain a deeper appreciation of the land’s history. This spirit of inquiry forms the foundation of NIU’s efforts to cultivate students’ civic competence, professional expertise, and well-being.

走出教室解謎 參賽小隊穿梭考古校園 Teams Leave the Classroom to Solve Mysteries Across an Archaeological Campus

不同於以往關卡多受限於單一教室，本次決賽特別打造與在地歷史深度結合的實境關卡「噶瑪蘭奇幻之旅」。關主將歷史文化轉化為解謎線索，首次將關卡場域擴大至整座校園，引導參賽小隊在穿梭探索中深入了解宜大的百年底蘊。小隊必須走出教室，行經展示史前文物的「萬斌廳」、重現原住民工藝的「噶瑪蘭文化廊道」，以及記錄校史的「宜大記憶庫」，在解謎過程中交織出專屬這片土地的歷史記憶。

Unlike previous challenges, which were generally confined to a single classroom, this year’s finals introduced “A Fantasy Journey to Kavalan,” an immersive challenge deeply connected to local history. The challenge designers transformed history and culture into puzzle clues and, for the first time, expanded the competition area across the entire campus. Contestants were encouraged to explore NIU’s century-old heritage as they moved between locations.

Teams had to leave the classroom and visit Wanbin Hall, which displays prehistoric artifacts; the Kavalan Cultural Corridor, which recreates aspects of Indigenous craftsmanship; and the NIU History Gallery, which preserves the university’s history. Through the puzzle-solving process, they pieced together the historical memories unique to this land.

其中，萬斌廳前設有常設展區「宜蘭農校遺址文化層」，分為「門廳牆體立面」、「仿製文物展示」及「多媒體互動區」三大區塊，以仿真復刻手法結合影音圖文，重現考古發掘現場與噶瑪蘭族先民的生活樣貌；噶瑪蘭文化廊道則重塑了昔日噶瑪蘭人的日常、原生植物與野生動物，透過互動場景與解說牌，讓師生漫步校園時能隨時與文化對話；而宜大記憶庫宛如一座現代校史館，典藏宜大百年來的地景變遷與校史文物，並結合光雕投影、立體模型與 AR 重現技術，打造多感官的互動體驗。

A permanent exhibition titled “Cultural Layer of the Yilan Agricultural School Archaeological Site” stands in front of Wanbin Hall. It consists of three areas: the Foyer Wall Display, Replica Artifact Exhibition, and Multimedia Interactive Area. Combining realistic reproductions with audiovisual and written materials, the exhibition recreates an archaeological excavation site and scenes from the lives of the early Kavalan people.

The Kavalan Cultural Corridor reconstructs aspects of traditional Kavalan life as well as native plants and wildlife. Its interactive displays and information panels allow faculty members and students to engage with local culture while walking through the campus. The NIU History Gallery, meanwhile, functions as a modern university museum. It preserves records of a century of changes to the campus landscape and artifacts from NIU’s history while incorporating projection mapping, three-dimensional models, and augmented reality to create a multisensory experience.

噶瑪蘭文化廊道是一條深具在地底蘊的文化廊道，將噶瑪蘭族的歷史人文與文化藝術融入校園場域。座落於醒目位置的梅花鹿裝置「擋鹿」，不僅是校園內極具吸睛效果的趣味亮點，更已在 Google 地圖上建立專屬地標，吸引不少民眾與訪客踴躍打卡、查詢與留下評論。（圖／凌宇佳攝）The Kavalan Cultural Corridor is deeply rooted in local heritage, integrating the history, culture, and art of the Kavalan people into the university campus. Its eye-catching sika deer installation, “Danglu,” is a playful campus attraction that has even been listed as a landmark on Google Maps, drawing visitors who take photos, search for information, and leave reviews.

挖掘文物對照地圖 關卡考驗遠距默契
Excavating Artifacts and Comparing Maps Put Remote Teamwork to the Test

「關卡直接將空間距離拉開，主要比賽場地就是整座宜蘭大學的校園。」關主威竹與宇泰指出，國立宜蘭大學是全國唯一擁有校園列冊遺址的大學，從萬斌廳的考古文物、噶瑪蘭文化廊道的植物與裝置藝術，到圖書館內的宜大記憶庫，都成為關卡設計的靈感來源。為了控管小隊在外探索的時間，會將參賽小隊分成為「考古博士」與「考古團」。考古博士負責精細挖掘骨骸文物並解讀新舊地圖，並幫助考古團做時間上的控管；考古團則在無線對講機的指引下，穿梭校園歷史景點尋找舊址拍照。在短短 40 分鐘的遠距連線中，關卡不僅考驗文物採集的專注度與短期記憶，更極度考驗隊員間的溝通默契。

“The challenge deliberately created physical distance between team members, with the entire National Ilan University campus serving as the main competition arena,” challenge designers Wei-Chu and Yu-Tai explained.

They noted that NIU is the only university in Taiwan with a registered archaeological site on its campus. The archaeological artifacts in Wanbin Hall, the plants and installations along the Kavalan Cultural Corridor, and the NIU History Gallery inside the library all served as inspiration for the challenge.

To manage the time spent exploring outdoors, each team was divided into the “Archaeology Doctors” and the “Archaeology Team.” The Archaeology Doctors carefully excavated bones and artifacts, interpreted historical and current maps, and helped the Archaeology Team manage its time. Guided through two-way radios, the Archaeology Team moved between historical locations across the campus, searching for former sites and taking photographs.

During the 40-minute remote collaboration, contestants were tested not only on their concentration and short-term memory while collecting artifacts, but also on their ability to communicate and work together across separate locations.

考古博士將會挖掘出一個金屬編物「金鯉魚」（魚形金屬編物），是台灣噶瑪蘭族特有的珍貴裝飾品，以金絲纏繞成彎月形，表面覆蓋金箔。國立宜蘭大學過去在校內施工時曾多次出土這類罕見的金鯉魚文物，成為見證早期噶瑪蘭人生活文化與高度工藝水準的重要歷史據點。關卡極度考驗選手的眼力與記憶力，考古團必須精準記下展示庫中的每一個微小細節、串聯線索，才能成功解碼突破重圍。

During the excavation, the Archaeology Doctors uncovered a woven-metal ornament known as the “Golden Carp,” a precious decorative object unique to Taiwan’s Kavalan people. Made by winding fine metal wire into a crescent shape and covering its surface with gold leaf, the ornament demonstrates the sophisticated craftsmanship of the early Kavalan people.

Similar rare Golden Carp artifacts have been unearthed several times during construction work on the NIU campus, providing important historical evidence of early Kavalan life and culture. The challenge placed considerable demands on the contestants’ eyesight and memory. Members of the Archaeology Team had to remember every small detail in the display cases and connect the clues accurately to decipher the answers and complete the challenge.

遠距溝通成闖關關鍵 小隊邊走邊調整策略
Remote Communication Becomes the Key as Teams Adjust Their Strategies on the Move

實境關卡不只考驗觀察力，也讓參賽小隊在過程中不斷修正合作方式。日本「WASEDA」隊員 Ayaka Wake 表示，最困難的是室內外隊員之間的聯絡，留在考古總部的成員必須將資訊順利傳達給外出的隊友，雖然過程不盡順利，但仍讓她覺得相當有趣。

The immersive challenge tested more than observational skills. It also required teams to continually adjust how they worked together. Ayaka Wake of Japan’s "WASEDA" team said the greatest difficulty was communicating between teammates indoors and those exploring outside. Members stationed at the Archaeology Headquarters had to relay information clearly to their teammates in the field. Although the communication did not always go smoothly, she still found the experience highly enjoyable.

同隊的 Masamune Ozawa 則分享，隊員必須沿途尋找藏在校園各處的線索，有些甚至位於地板下方，尋找起來相當辛苦，不過能夠走遍校園探索，也成了難得的體驗。

Her teammate Masamune Ozawa said contestants had to search for clues hidden throughout the campus, some of which were even concealed beneath the floor. Finding them was difficult, but being able to move around and explore the campus made the experience memorable.

「PR99 哥布林」隊員邱若禹表示，小隊一開始還沒有完整策略，後來發現先聽完題目敘述能更快鎖定答案，完成萬斌廳的任務後，便逐漸建立更有系統的解題方式。

Chiu Jo-yu of "PR99 Goblins" said the team did not have a complete strategy at first. After realizing that listening to the full question descriptions helped them identify answers more quickly, the team gradually developed a more systematic approach following its first mission at Wanbin Hall.

「su鐵2.0」小隊分享表示，透過實境解謎深刻認識了噶瑪蘭族的歷史文化，雖然考古團在外搜尋線索的時間有限，仍藉由闖關過程更加貼近宜蘭大學這片土地的豐富人文。從跨空間溝通到臨場調整策略，各隊在闖關過程中展現不同的合作節奏，也讓校園歷史成為一場可以親自走進、共同解開的挑戰。

Members of the "Cycas 2.0" team said the immersive puzzle challenge gave them a deeper understanding of Kavalan history and culture. Although the Archaeology Team had limited time to search for clues outdoors, the experience brought them closer to the rich cultural heritage of the land on which NIU stands.

From communicating across separate locations to adjusting strategies under pressure, each team developed its own rhythm of cooperation. The challenge transformed campus history into something contestants could physically enter, explore, and solve together.

智鐵幕後神隊友 資訊團隊陪伴鐵人安心闖關 The Unsung Heroes Behind Intelligent Ironman: NIU’s IT Team Keeps Contestants on Track

智鐵競賽過去的關卡限縮在教室內，今年與宜蘭大學合作，挑戰戶外形式的關卡，更仰賴宜大團隊為適應封閉競賽的需求，人力、物力對智鐵競賽支持。學術副校長謝昌衛提到，為了支應 72 小時不間斷的賽事，校內各單位如學務、總務、圖資處等皆動員起來，從學生宿舍的安排到完全斷網的專業電腦教室配置，展現了極高的執行力。智慧鐵人創意競賽重視的動手做與問題解決能力，與宜大推動的「產學零落差」目標完全一致，學校透過全職實習與三創圓夢中心的輔導，致力於讓學生在畢業前就具備能被產業支持的實作競爭力。陳校長期許參賽選手在穿梭於這座百年考古校園解謎的同時，也能看見宜蘭大學如何在深厚的人文底蘊上，搭建起通往未來的科技實作舞台。

While previous Intelligent Ironman challenges were generally confined to classrooms, this year’s collaboration with NIU introduced an outdoor challenge format. Meeting the requirements of a closed competition environment required extensive support from NIU in both personnel and resources. Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Chang-Wei Hsieh said units across the university, including student affairs, general affairs, and library and information services, mobilized to support the nonstop 72-hour contest. Their work ranged from arranging student accommodation to preparing dedicated computer laboratories completely disconnected from the internet, demonstrating a high level of coordination and execution. The Intelligent Ironman Creativity Contest emphasizes hands-on work and problem-solving, values that align closely with NIU’s goal of eliminating the gap between education and industry. Through full-time internships and support from its Center for Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship, the university seeks to equip students with practical skills valued by industry before they graduate. President Chen expressed hope that while solving puzzles across the century-old archaeological campus, contestants would also see how NIU is building a platform for future technological practice upon its rich cultural and historical foundations.

負責協助本屆智慧鐵人創意競賽網路系統建立的國立宜蘭大學陳子為老師表示，為確保賽事絕對公平，團隊事前做了多次環境演練與備援預案。針對複賽不同梯次的軟體環境切換，資訊團隊這次特別引進全新管理系統，將過去傳統繁瑣的硬體更換流程，大幅縮短至「5 分鐘內」自動完成系統切換。此外，因應國際隊伍參賽，團隊更緊急擴充中英文介面切換功能與部署資安憑證，成為選手們最堅實的數位神隊友。

Tzu-Wei Chen, the NIU staff member responsible for assisting with the contest’s network system, said the team conducted multiple environmental tests and prepared backup plans to ensure absolute fairness. To switch between the different software environments required for each preliminary-round session, the IT team introduced a new management system. This reduced what had previously been a complicated hardware replacement process to an automated system switch completed within five minutes. To accommodate international teams, the team also urgently added Chinese-English interface switching and deployed digital security certificates, providing contestants with a reliable digital support system throughout the competition.
