Please note that no applications will be accepted after the closing date.

As part of the application process, we ask that you submit a 2-minute video showcasing the following criteria:

1. Tell us about a project, hobby or idea that has sparked your curiosity or interest. Why do you find this interesting and how do you pursue knowledge or skills about it?
2. Tell us about a time that you have worked with others to achieve a shared goal. For example, this might be working on group projects, being on a team, getting involved with a community.
3. Tell us about a time that you didn’t know how to do something. What did you do next?
4. Tell us why you are interested in joining the Think Bright Program.

We encourage you to be creative, authentic, and articulate when creating your video, as this is our first chance to meet you, and to hear about your unique strengths and interests.

Stage 2 - Challenge Day 

If your video application is shortlisted, you will be invited to participate in our Challenge Day. This day will involve a range of creative thinking, collaborative, problem-solving activities, and a short interview.

In 2025, Challenge Day will be held on Tuesday 6 May.
