2025 Future Anything National Semi Finals

Join Future Anything and the top school-aged entrepreneurs from across Australia as we bend the future, one youth-led idea at a time. 

This year, more than 8000 students from over 85 schools have been involved in our flagship, and award-winning, Activate program.

Delivered over a term or semester by primary and secondary classroom teachers, young people take an enterprising approach to their learning, ideating, prototyping, and pitching their own innovative solutions to the challenging problems in our world.

Selected from 500+ applications, join us on Tuesday 21 October and/or Thursday 23 October as our top forty teams go head-to-head in our Future Anything National Semi Finals, pitching to our expert judging panels for one of eight coveted spots on stage at our Future Anything National Grand Final in November.

These one-hour online 'Shark Tank' events are fast, and a lot of fun.
