We support schools with a portfolio of curriculum-aligned programs for educators and students that build the 21st Century Skills that young people need to thrive in our ever-evolving world.

Our programs include:

In-curriculum Entrepreneurship: Activate/The [X] Challenge is our flagship program that builds enterprising mindsets in every classroom, empowering young people to ideate, prototype and pitch innovative, scalable and sustainable solutions to the problems they care about. In 2025, there were 8200+ students & 370+ teachers in 85+ Activate schools.

Teacher Professional Learning: We design and deliver engaging educator PD; unpacking the 'what' and, more importantly, the 'how' innovative and future-focused teaching and learning. In 2025, our PD will reach over 2000 teachers.

Student Innovation Workshops: Over one, two or five days, our workshops are fast paced days of listening, learning, and doing that ignite students' enterprising mindsets. In 2025, we're delivering workshops to over 8000 young people in primary and high schools across Australia.

Strategic Partnerships: We partner with innovation bodies, education organisations, governments and others to spark innovative projects that drive entrepreneurial change in schools, communities and regions.

ABOUT YOU

With a minimum of 3 years teaching experience, you're a passionate educator, a skilled learning designer and a strong relationship builder.

The moment you spot a problem, you're the first to pitch a new program, process, or partnership that will make things better for young people. You've built a reputation for noticing what's not working, designing a smart solution, and delivering on real and measurable impact.

You're a confident learning designer who can move effortlessly between research-backed pedagogies, data-informed decisions, and creative ideas that make learning engaging and relevant. You have a way for making learning land for young people.

Your superpower is building fast, authentic relationships. You're a great listener, a warm and generous coach, and the person people naturally come to for support and guidance. You can make a room of 100 students stop, look, and listen—or sit alongside a first-year teacher and help them find their feet.

You can juggle competing priorities, stay proactive with your time, and you genuinely love a challenge. Every day is different, and that's exactly how you like it.

You love education and you're looking for a meaningful and impactful way to make a difference for young people throughout Australia, and beyond
