2024 has been another record year for Future Anything’s Activate in-curriculum program that builds enterprising mindsets in primary and high schools. Over 7500 students and 300+ teachers in nearly 80 schools across Australia & NZ have been bending the future, one youth-led idea at a time.
The fourth 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 2024 on Tuesday 19 November.
Future Anything is proud to announce the shortlisted finalists in three categories. Finalists have been recognised for their extraordinary work in the classroom in bringing Activate, Future Anything’s Project-Based Learning program, to life for their students, and in leading enterprising thinking at their school. For the first time in 2024, nominations were invited from students, as well as from teachers and colleagues.
Future Anything celebrates the hard work, compassion, and dedication to creating incredible learning opportunities for their students of all teachers nominated for this year’s awards.
