SEED Grand Final Showcase 2025

Future Anything and the Taronga Conservation Society are proud to invite you to the SEED Grand Final Showcase Event. 

This event is the culmination of the SEED program, where students in Years 8-10 have been ideating, prototyping, and bringing to life bold new solutions to pressing environmental problems. Now, it’s their time to shine. 

At the showcase event, you will see the passion and enthusiasm of young changemakers as they tradeshow display and pitch their ideas that respond to the following mission: “As an entrepreneur, pitch a sustainable and innovative idea that tackles a conservation challenge.”

It will be an evening of celebrating the creativity, critical thinking, and commitment of young people determined to make a difference for the environment.
