Kia ora,
Our FREE Women in Engineering Academy Holiday Camp is returning in 2026, and we’d love for your Year 11 students to take part.

Format: Daytime camp, 9am – 5pm (no overnight stay)
Cost: FREE
Ideal applicants:
-
Year 11 students
-
Interested in what science or maths pathways can lead to
-
Creative thinkers, problem solvers, team players, and students keen to explore new possibilities
-
No prior interest in engineering required, just curiosity
-
Applicants will need to submit a short written paragraph (or a 2‑minute video) explaining why they’d like to attend
