Learning and approach
- Over two weeks, groups use the methods of a chosen STEM subject in a research project or a design-and-build challenge. Laboratory or field exercises supply the evidence for that work.
Eligibility and international applicants
The 2026 cohort was for students completing grade 8 or 9, aged 13–15 on June 14.
The specific international pathway still needs confirmation. Do not assume eligibility for Chinese applicants.
