​“Future Anything completely changed the trajectory of my life. It showed me I didn’t need permission to make an impact and gave me the confidence to turn learning into real-world action.”
Former Participant
Brisbane State High School
"The journey that the FA program took me on completely changed the trajectory of my life. It helped me overcome some of my social anxiety and I found myself being able to network and pitch to a room of 200 people. It fostered my passion for entrepreneurship, specifically social entrepreneurship, which led to my work today at 180 Degrees Consulting QUT. It allowed me to get a real taste of entrepreneurship, and where that could take me in life."
Jordan O’dell-Fontana
Brisbane State High School
"I have taught The Future Anything Challenge program for five years and I absolutely love it. I’ve been to three National Grand Finals and Future Anything always puts on an excellent event. But our most important congratulations go to all the students who make this program what it is.”
Educator of the Year 2023, ​Vicki Cull
Redbank Plains State High School
"Absolutely mindblowing what the students can achieve when you give them the framework, belief and agency. So extremely proud of all of the students who participated in The Future Anything Challenge this year! What an experience... it will be a highlight of their education!”

“The most relevant and inspirational professional development I have been to! Thank you!”
Teacher
Our Lady of the Rosary School, QLD
“I am a beginning teacher and I found that the Future Anything Challenge really encapsulated a teaching style that I want to apply to other classes as well. The project-based-learning style that culminates in the showcase/pitch day held a lot of meaning for the students, and had clear application of skills that students need beyond the classroom.”
Teacher
Kenmore State High School, QLD
"Future Anything gave me the structure, mentorship, and confidence to turn those ideas into a real enterprise. Their workshops pushed me to refine my product, sharpen my pitch, and think strategically about growth. Future Anything also ignited a deeper purpose in me: empowering other young entrepreneurs. In 2023 I launched Youngpreneur Markets By Chloe to give young makers and innovators a platform to showcase their products, develop skills, and build confidence... proof that the ripple effect of Future Anything’s work is real and growing."

"The opportunities to engage in real world learning, driven by the students’ areas of interest, within a framework that supports the curriculum, has been invaluable. Our kids have engaged to such a high level with their social impact projects that we are expanding the opportunities this year, and I can’t wait to see the outcome.”
Principal

“Participating in the Future Anything workshop was a transformative experience, reshaping my teaching philosophy. I highly recommend it for those seeking to inspire the next generation with skills beyond traditional academics.”
Teacher

"The Future Anything Challenge is such a valuable program to help students develop essential skills. Everybody steps out of their comfort zones in teaching and learning which is what leads to amazing ideas and productive risk taking. My students thoroughly enjoyed the program.”
Teacher
"This was our third year running the Flare program with Future Anything, and it continues to be a highlight of our calendar. The team's energy, expertise and ability to engage students in real- world problem solving is second to none.​ The day was dynamic, inspiring, and left students empowered to think big and act with purpose. We’re already looking forward to partnering with the Future​ Anything team again in 2026!”

Student
Matthew Flinders Anglican College, QLD
"The program has influenced not just my schoolwork but my whole life. In fact it has changed my whole outlook on school. The opportunities I received were incredible. I got to and still do collaborate with the most amazing people, but what mattered most was the confidence and skills I gained. Future Anything isn’t something you just “win once” — it keeps supporting you well into the future."
Alexander Kakagiannis

"It felt like giving my students a real-life "shark tank" experience — pitching their own ideas in a high-energy, fast-paced environment. It was an exciting opportunity for them to think creatively and work collaboratively.”

"The Future Anything Challenge challenges the idea that students only have two pathways after school: university or a trade. It opens up a third option, showing young people that they can explore opportunities beyond traditional routes and even turn their passion into their profession.”
