APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2025 SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM HAVE NOW CLOSED. SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS WILL BE NOTIFIED NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 18th, 2024. 

This year, we extend our gratitude to The Fogarty Foundation, who are supporting the program by subsidising the cost for all participants, as well as providing scholarships for 5 fully funded places within the program. We also wish to thank the WA Government’s Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation and the Curtin University School of Earth and Planetary Sciences for their support of the BinarX School Holiday Program.

WE WANT TO PUT SPACE IN THE HANDS OF WA.

 

This two-week program with the BinarX team will guide you to design, construct, and launch your very own space-themed electronics project in a 3D-printed payload bay within your own personalised model rocket.

Immerse yourself in hands-on tinkering with electronics, data, design and laboratory-grade testing equipment, as you build critical thinking, creative and communication skills that will serve you far beyond the school holiday program. You will have access to Curtin University Space Environment Testing Facilities and use real space hardware.

This program is based on the BinarX Outreach Program currently in schools, where WA high school students are working to design and build their own payloads for Low Earth Orbit on-board a future Binar spacecraft.

Really keen but can’t attend? We’ve published videos and materials from the 2024 run of the BinarX School Holiday Program on our GitHub for you to explore!
