Exciting Partnership Announcement: Fogarty Foundation Teams Up with Binar X School Holiday Program 

November 6, 2024

The Fogarty Foundation is pleased to announce our partnership with the Binar X School Holiday Program for 2025, aimed at igniting the passion for space exploration among Western Australian students. This collaboration reflects our commitment to fostering educational opportunities that inspire the next generation of innovators and STEM thinkers. 

Through this partnership, the Fogarty Foundation will provide funding to subsidise places in the program and offer five scholarships specifically for WA students eager to delve into the exciting world of space science. The Binar X School Holiday Program is designed to be an immersive 10-day experience where participants will engage in hands-on learning and exploration. 

Throughout the program, students will be guided in the design, construction, and launching of their very own space projects, all within personalised model rockets equipped with 3D-printed payload bays. This exciting experience not only enables students to watch their designs take flight but also nurtures vital skills in problem-solving, innovation, and teamwork—capabilities that will benefit them long after the program ends. 

Moreover, participants will have access to Curtin University’s Space Environment Testing Facilities and real space hardware, providing them with valuable insights into the workings of the aerospace industry. This exposure will inspire students to think critically about scientific concepts and explore potential career paths in STEM fields. 

We believe that investing in educational programs like the Binar X School Holiday Program is crucial for empowering young minds and fostering a love for learning. The Fogarty Foundation is dedicated to transforming lives through education, and we are excited to see the impact this partnership will have on enthusiastic students from WA. 

The Foundations partnership will provide five scholarships for students to ensure equitable access to this exciting opportunity. More details on how to apply to the 2025 Program and Scholarship applications are available via the Binar X School Holiday Program webpage- click here to learn more. 

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the launch of the Binar X program in 2025 and join us in celebrating this opportunity for our young space enthusiasts!
