Innovative Young Minds programme (IYM) will host a week-long camp for Year 11 and 12 girls.
The IYM programme runs between 8-13 July 2018. Students will stay at Silverstream Retreat, Lower Hutt and travel each day to visit a variety of technology businesses, Crown Research Institutes and Tertiary Education Providers in the Wellington region.
Participants will experience a range of technologies through hands-on activities and witness innovation they never thought possible.

They will mix with a wide range of women from a cross-section of business sectors who think outside the square, who apply their creativity to innovate and who are passionate about science and technology.
