This is a great opportunity to gain experience and satisfy your curiosity! It may seem a bit of a challenge at first. In the end you’ll be glad you participated. Good luck.

As a student intern who didn't get to observe the 2022 competition, I'm very excited to see what happens in the 2023 instalment!
