Since 1969, the International Astronomical Youth Camp has given 16-24 year olds the chance to broaden their horizons, whilst embarking on scientific inquiry into astronomy. The camp aims to enthuse, inspire, and educate the younger scientists of the future. Anyone can apply, previous science knowledge is not a requirement - only the passion and desire to learn about astronomy. The IAYC is gender balanced: ~50% of participants are female.
