Your challenge submission consists of two parts: the Minor Challenges and the Major Challenge. The Minor Challenges are the initial part of the challenge, where by participants can begin to learn about different sciences and engineering disciplines and have the option to participate in mini experiments. The Major Challenge is when participants can create their own experiment and produce a video to show their findings.
Girls between ages 5 to 18 can enter the competition, individually or as a team of 2, accompanied by a parent-mentor who is above 18 years of age. Only entrants from Australia will be eligible for prizes. The competition is divided into 3 age groups and entries are judged accordingly. |
