Sina Javadi: Scholarship to Spark Engineering Camp

Mr Walton strikes again; Sina was successful in gaining a scholarship to the Spark Engineering Camp which will be held at Melbourne University 3/7 to 8/7. 

The Spark Engineering Camp is entirely inclusive and fully funded. It provides students with a unique experience, showing them what tertiary education and technology-related fields are like, while they are still studying in high school. This can encourage students to pursue STEM as a career, and to show them this pathway is accessible and achievable. Spark seeks to break down the barrier students face to tertiary education by: 

• Providing students with the opportunity to experience STEM subjects in a tertiary context 
• Promoting the cultivation of relationships between diverse people groups to support future diversity in the workplace 
• Equipping students with knowledge of different university courses and pathways 
• Strengthening inter-regional and inter-cultural ties within Australia 
• Providing students with the tools and support they need to pursue their goals and maximise their potential

Sina had to complete a detailed written application for the camp, and we congratulate him on gaining this scholarship.
