FLARE, SPARK, FUEL & IGNITE: Engaging student innovation workshops

In our four flagship school innovation workshops, our experienced and engaging facilitators come to your school. Using the Future Anything Odyssey, over one, two, three or five days we take your young people from looking inward at personal passions and lived experiences, igniting their entrepreneurial mindset to analyse problems and ideate, then prototype, impactful solutions.

CATAPULT CARDS: An agile design thinking tool

We’ve all been in the room when brainstorming has been met with blank stares and an empty page.

Catapult Cards are a series of process-driven decks of cards that take users from looking at problems around them through to pitching their own innovative, scalable and sustainable idea; one deck at a time.

Read more and snap up your Catapult Cards kit here.
