Powered by Future Anything, the Big Ideas Challenge is a fast-paced and hands-on day of listening, learning, and doing culminating in teams of students pitching their own innovative solutions to a complex, local issue.
This year, thanks to the support of some awesome partners, we’re taking the Big Ideas Challenge on the road.
Students in Years 5-13 will hear from some of Australia’s most inspiring changemakers, as well as explicitly developing their enterprising thinking and human-centred design skills.
