Student FAQs
-
Spark Engineering Camp is fully funded by our generous partners and sponsors - no additional expenses are required from our students!
-
Any student in grade 10-12 is strongly encouraged to apply, particularly those who come from non-traditional backgrounds. Non-traditional backgrounds may include (but are not limited to) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, refugees, low socioeconomic status, rural, foster care, or those with special needs.
-
Although our camp has a STEM focus, applicants do not necessarily have to aspire to study engineering or similar STEM courses - we welcome students from all aspirations! We look for students with a can-do attitude who are willing to give it a go.
