Training for the competition will be provided to interested students by MCAST, with meetings scheduled 2-3 times a week during summer. All competition-related expenses, including flights and accommodation, will be covered by our sponsors.
Eligibility: Open to students aged 15-18 attending a post-secondary institution (such as MCAST, Junior College, Giovanni Curmi Higher or the University of Malta).
