For the very first time, we're running a virtual professional development workshop for teachers in Australia to learn more about the $20 Boss program, meet other teachers who are delivering it in their schools and take part in an immersive design thinking experience.

In this jam packed half day workshop we’ll be going through the program content together and sharing tips on how to deliver the design thinking activities with your students. Then we’ll give you the opportunity to connect with other teachers and see how they are currently running the program or what they’d like to do at their school.

This workshop is open to all teachers! Especially those who are interested in running the $20 Boss program for the first time, and those who have run it before in their schools as we’d love to have some of our veteran $20 Boss teachers share their experiences.

You'll leave with a better understanding of design thinking and how to enhance young people’s enterprise skills through the $20 Boss program and connections to other teachers within the Young Change Agents community of practice for $20 Boss!

Important Notes:
1. Please make sure to sign up using your school email address to validate your registration and claim your free spot.

2. We ask that no more than one teacher per school attends the workshop.

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.
