Do you currently have a business idea or solution to a real world problem? Are you ready to invent the next big idea? Do you have an interest and or skills in Enterprise and Commerce, Business Studies, STEM or VCAL?

    If you answered yes to any of these questions then consider joining the Upstart Challenge. This challenge is for young entrepreneurs looking to design, develop and make a solution to a real world problem. Design solutions in the past have included: a Mental health app for teens, democratising the news, and our very own talking rubbish bin. If you are in Yr 8-10, with strong skills and interests in Enterprise and Commerce, Business Studies, and or STEM and VCAL please email Miss Koren Irving by 3:30pm Friday 6th August.

    The Upstart Express is an entrepreneurial journey from Idea to Impact. Students can identify a problem people have, they then explore how this problem affects people and they then imagine ways to solve it.

    This year's program themes are:

    • Health and Wellbeing
    • Community and Society
    • Food Futures
    • Environment & Sustainability
    • Sport & Leisure
