Welcome to Activate 2025!

Professional development and peer exchange are core elements of Activate 2025. We offer a range of professional learning events as part of Activate 2025 and encourage every Activate teacher (new or returning), to attend one of these workshops.

Together, we'll unpack the all-important program logistics and explore the key pedagogical approaches that underpin Activate. These PDs are also a great opportunity to network and collaborate with colleagues, hear and share best practice and to get set up for Activate success.

Activate educators that can't make it to one of flagship professional learning experiences in person (in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth & Brisbane - click here for details) can choose to join one of our five short online workshops instead.

This event is open exclusively to Activate 2025 educators. If you are not registered for Activate 2025 but would like to attend this session, please email us at hello@futureanything.com.

Activate Essentials 2025 Online Program:

If you're new to Activate, we strongly recommend you join for the whole workshop. If you're returning to the program or just want a refresher on one element of the program, you can just drop in for the part that interests you!

Part 1: What is Activate? (starts 9am AEST for morning workshops / 12 noon AEST for afternoon workshops)

This session provides a general overview of Activate 2025 including program timeline and key dates, impact measurement, how to access the curriculum, and where to find help.

Part 2: The Future Anything Odyssey & Creativity/Ideation/Prototyping (starts 10am AEST / 1pm AEST)

This session digs into the 'how' of taking students from problem to solution, unpacking flagship Activate activities, and reveals tips and tricks to building creative confidence in your classroom.

Part 3: Curriculum Alignment & Assessment + Workshop Wrap (starts 11am AEST / 2pm AEST)

This session supports teaching teams to map their Activate curriculum delivery to their school context, and calendar, and design and develop curriculum aligned assessment instruments.

We know securing release time can be challenging but we strongly encourage you to attend if you possibly can. We promise every event, whether online or in person, will be fun, interactive and, most of all, practical.
