Event description

Powered by Future Anything, the Immanuel Lutheran College Big Ideas Challenge 2025 is a fast-paced and hands-on day of listening, learning, and doing, culminating in teams of students pitching their own innovative solutions to address a key community challenge in a 'Shark Tank'-style experience.

It's set to be an engaging and real-world learning experience for young people in Year 5-6. Students will hear from some of Australia’s most inspiring changemakers, and explicitly develop their enterprising thinking and human-centered design skills.

* ICSEA stands for Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage. ICSEA is a scale which allows for fair and reasonable comparisons among schools with similar students. ICSEA provides an indication of the socio-educational backgrounds of students; it has nothing to do with the staff, school, facilities or teaching programs at the school. ICSEA isn’t a school rating. You can check your school's ICSEA Value at https://www.myschool.edu.au/
