Welcome to the BioGENEius Challenge of WA
The BioGENEius Challenge of Western Australia
(WA) is a brilliant
opportunity to inspire our next generation of talented scientists.
The Challenge takes some of WA's
top high school students from the classroom to the laboratory, giving
them the opportunity to work alongside experienced scientists to
complete their own biotechnology research project.
High school students in years 8 through to 12 and enrolled in any
biology or science related units at a Western Australian public
or private school, are eligible to nominate to participate in the
BioGENEius Challenge of WA.
Participating students spend up to a year undertaking a biotechnology
research project with one of WA's
world class biotechnology scientists as a mentor.
Each year, the two winners from WA will then compete against finalists
from the United States of America (USA) and Canada in the BioGENEius
Challenge held in the USA, in conjunction with the BIO International
Conference.
The internationa BioGENEius Challenge has run
in the USA and Canada since 2002. WA
is the first region to particiate outside of North America.
