2. Eligibility
The Pathways Challenge is open to students aged 12 to 15 years old who are enrolled in Grade 7, 8, or 9 at a recognized school.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
4. Competition Rules
All participants must adhere to the official competition rules published on the platform. Cheating, plagiarism, or any form of dishonest conduct will result in immediate disqualification.
