How it works…
Step 1:
Choose Your Workshop
Workshops can be delivered as a standalone incursion or as the kick-off event to your own term or semester-long curriculum unit.
Flare
Flare is a fast-paced day that culminates in teams delivering a one-minute Elevator Pitch of an innovative idea. Focussing on Curiosity and Creative thinking, it’s the perfect introduction to design thinking; accessible and engaging for students of all ages.
Spark
Culminating in a two-minute multi-modal pitch, Spark provides the space for a focus on Curiosity, Creative Thinking and Communication; challenging students to back their assumptions with research, refine their solutions with clear points of difference and persuade their audience with purpose.
Fuel
Over the course of three days, Fuel moves participants beyond ideation to validation. Focussing on the capabilities of Curiosity, Creative and Critical Thinking, and Communication, teams build product roadmaps, including the resourcing (financial and otherwise) required to launch and scale. Fuel can culminate in three-minute multimodal pitches or a tradeshow / display expo.
Ignite
Ignite is our high-energy intensive that culminates in your school's very own community ‘Shark Tank’ Showcase. Leading up to your program, we work with you to secure a panel of inspiring changemakers, a range of industry mentors to provide feedback to student teams and everything you need to deliver a calendar-stopping event for your community to attend. The first four days of the program are facilitated by our expert team, with everything provided for you to run a fifth day of reflection.

Our school doesn’t have the budget for a workshop, but our students would really benefit from the content. What can we do?
The best way to start is to get in touch and tell us about your context. We regularly work with schools to explore flexible options, including staged delivery, alternative funding sources, partnerships, or other existing programs (for example, have you seen the Xccelerate Fund for The Future Anything Challenge?). If the work is the right fit, we’ll always try to find a way forward.
I don’t know what workshop would be best for our young people. Can we have a call to discuss?
Of course! Simply fill out our contact form here, and someone will be in touch ASAP.
I’m ready to register! How do I do that?

We already have our own youth entrepreneurship program, why would we pay for another one?
We work with many schools that have their own internal entrepreneurship programs, collaborating with their educators to tailor our content/model to add value to their existing offerings. Let’s have a chat and see if there’s an opportunity for us to collaborate. Connect with us here.
