And the categories are...

Because students of all ages enter the Bright Sparks Competition, there are a range of categories

1] Under 12 years

2] 13-14 years

3] 15-16 years

4] 17+ years

There's also a category for entries completed by students engaged in the National Certificate in Electronics Technology [Level 3] [NCET].  Because these projects are completed in class, and often as a group, they are seperate from the open category in the competition.
