2023 has been another record year for Future Anything’s Activate in-curriculum program that builds enterprising mindsets in primary and high schools. Over 5500 students and 200+ teachers in 65 schools across Australia have been bending the future, one youth-led idea at a time.
The third annual Future Anything Educator Awards celebrate the teachers who’ve not only led Activate in their classroom but who have lived it through their own entrepreneurial approach to teaching and learning.
Winners will share in over $10,000 of prizes to support their schools’ entrepreneurial aspirations. The winners will be unveiled at the high profile Future Anything National Grand Final 2023 on Monday 20 November.
