Construct Pal is a set of reusable clips that transform cardboard into building blocks, solving classroom waste and cost problems by enabling creative, hands on learning, with recycled materials.
Ethan from Canterbury College in Queensland pitched his enterprise Construct Pal at the Future Anything National Grand Final, held at The State Library of Queensland on Tuesday the 18 November 2025.
The National Grand Final is the culmination of Future Anything’s award-winning, in-curriculum Activate program. In 2025, over 8200 students and 350+ teachers in over 85 primary and secondary schools across Australia have tackled a version of the below mission: “As an entrepreneur, pitch an innovative idea that makes the world a better place.” With the support of their educators and mentors, our young innovators have taken a deep dive into a real world problem that matters to them, before ideating and prototyping an innovative, scalable and sustainable solution. As Australia’s largest youth entrepreneurship competition, our Future Anything Grand Finalists were selected from over 600 applications from over 1000 school-age entrepreneurs who applied for this year’s National Finals.
The event was generously supported by the Queensland Government and a host of epic organisations who contributed prizes to support the school-age entrepreneurs.
Activate is Future Anything’s immersive in-curriculum program that builds enterprising mindsets in every classroom.
Over a Term or Semester in Primary and Secondary schools, Activate builds future capabilities and integrates fully with mainstream curriculum delivery as an assessable unit of work in Business, Science, STEM, English, Design Technologies, Humanities, HPE & Religion classrooms.
With supported educators leading future-ready curriculum, together, we can bend the future; one youth-led idea at a time.
Every Activate student has the opportunity to apply for the Future Anything National Grand Finals.
