Rise, from Marymount College in Queensland, is a social enterprise that has prototyped an innovative new floatation device designed to help prevent drowning, pollution and theft.
Addison, Banjo and Summer pitched at The Triffid in Brisbane on Monday 20 November at the Future Anything National Grand Final 2023 – check out their brilliant pitch!
In the culmination of Future Anything’s Activate 2023 program, eight teams of school-age entrepreneurs pitched their innovative, scalable and sustainable social enterprise ideas live on stage, before facing tough questions from judges Belinda Morrissey (Chair, Social Enterprise Australia & CEO, English Family Foundation), Dr Catherine Ball (Futurist, Author & Associate Professor, ANU), Joel Connolly (Creative Director, Blackbird Ventures & Head, Blackbird Foundation), Kristy Chong OAM (Founder, Modibodi) and Sarah Liu (Founder & Managing Director, TDC Global)
The event was generously supported by Major Partners Advance Queensland and the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur and a host of epic organisations who contributed prizes to support the school-age entrepreneurs.
Activate is Future Anything’s immersive in-curriculum program that builds enterprising mindsets in every classroom.
Over a Term or Semester in Primary and Secondary schools, Activate builds future capabilities and integrates fully with mainstream curriculum delivery as an assessable unit of work in Business, Science, STEM, English, Design Technologies, Humanities, HPE & Religion classrooms.
With supported educators leading future-ready curriculum, together, we can bend the future; one youth-led idea at a time.
Every Activate student has the opportunity to apply for the Future Anything National Grand Finals – just like Rise did in 2023!
