There are regional, state, and international levelsof competition, with the state level competition hosted by Edith Cowan University. Teams undertake a challenge from one of four different areas:
- The Arts
- STEM
- Language and Literature, or
- Social Sciences.
The Foundation is supporting up to 20 schools and students from low socio-economic index (SEI) communities, including regional schools, to participate in this skill development opportunity.
