About the Spark Festival
Spark Festival Australia is an event connecting innovators and entrepreneurs around Australia.
Find My Spark is the education arm of Spark Festival and was established to support the schools' systems to instill a positive, problem-solving entrepreneurial mindset through role-modeling and introduce the skills needed to turn an idea into a startup business, as well as demonstrate how entrepreneurship can be applied across a wide range of disciplines and interests, empower students to explore entrepreneurial pathways as they enter their final years of high school and consider options for tertiary education, and inspire more young Australians to think big and follow their business dream if that is their calling.
Find My Spark 2022 will be an opportunity to celebrate and support initiatives and programs, across Australia for school-aged students and their teachers.

About $20 Boss
$20 Boss is the largest entrepreneurship program in Australia and is powered by Young Change Agents to support young people to solve a real problem through social entrepreneurship and help them better understand their relationship with money. How it works is that students are given a $20 loan by their school to invest in their social enterprise ideas. The loan is then paid back at the completion of the program with a $1 legacy fee and any profits made can be donated to charity or put towards a future program. For schools within low socio-economic areas, Young Change Agents has a small fund where schools can apply to receive funding to deliver the program which you can apply for here.
Teachers can take part by signing up to receive the free toolkits and resources to deliver the program here and learn more about the different Toolkits and suggested Lesson Plans here.
