14-Year-Old Alayna Will Represent Leeton In The National Questacon Invention Convention

An aspiring young local inventor has been selected to attend an Invention Convention in Canberra, run by Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre.

14-year-old Alayna Croucamp will join 24 other young Aussies from across the country for the 5 day convention, with participating delegates gaining practical insight into design and entrepreneurship. 

Questacon Senior Manager National Programs, Mr Jared Wilkins, said the convention "provides participants with an opportunity to see the wide range of career pathways available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.”

“The National Questacon Invention Convention delegates will be able to talk and work with leaders in innovation to develop their own prototypes and ideas... [It] inspires future innovators, and encourages them to develop creative thinking skills critical to Australia’s economic future.”
