Support school-age entrepreneurs from across Australia as they bend the future, one youth-led idea at a time.
Future Anything unleashes passion, potential and agency in every classroom, empowering young people to turn their passion and curiosity into innovative ideas that make the world a better place.
In 2026, more than 11,000 students over 100 schools built enterprising mindsets in their classrooms, creating innovative, sustainable and scalable solutions to the problems THEY care about through our award-winning The Future Anything Challenge.
Join us as teams go head-to-head to win the support to launch their ideas into the real world in The Future Anything Challenge Grand Final 2026. There’ll be live pitches, a panel of expert judges, showcase expo and a live People’s Vote. We’ll also unveil the winners of this year’s Future Anything Educator Awards and welcome 2026’s inductees to the Future Anything Hall of Fame.
