The Smart Lads need help getting to Australia for the Tournament of Minds International competition!

Lincoln, Canterbury

The smart lads are an amazing group of 7 boys, aged 9-12. They have recently competed in the National Competition for Tournament of Minds, taking out first place in New Zealand for their division, which is STEM; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

The next step for The Smart Lads is to compete in the International Competition in Sydney, Australia, where they will be competing against 70-80 other teams from around the world on the 1st and 2nd of November 2024.

We are asking for support to help us cover the costs of flights, accomodation and registration fees for these amazing young Lads to get to the international competition where they can showcase their love of education, their ‘outside of the box’ thinking, and their determination and commitment to making dreams happen!

Please help us to inspire young minds and encourage others to take steps into the direction of academic education!

“Tournament of minds is an opportunity for students with a passion for learning and problem solving to demonstrate their skills and talents in an exciting, vibrant and public way.

Tournament aim is to enhance the potential of our youth by developing diverse skills, enterprise, time management, and the discipline to work collaboratively within a challenging and competitive environment.”

Use of funds

Any money raised will go toward the costs of the boys flights, their accommodation, ground costs and registration fees into the competition.
