UpRising

Nurturing the Grassroots
of
Innovation

 
Connecting our young designers to
business & industry

The Opportunity

In 2020, 3644 HSC students completed the Design & Technology course in NSW undertaking a Major Design Project (MDP) spending months researching and building ethical and sustainable solutions to local and global problems.

 

How many students can clearly see the pathways available to them?  All too often at the end of it all, these commercially viable, enterprising projects of high social impact, end up gathering dust in a cupboard.

 

Our talented and entrepreneurial students need your support by providing feedback and opportunities for mentoring to reach their full potential.

Imagine an innovative design student attracting support to take their MDP to market.  

2021 Awards Winners have the opportunity to receive funding to support their clever ideas, 12 months access to The Business Launchers course, mentoring support from Tank Stream Lab Founders and more.

Welcome to UpRising 

 

UpRising is an innovative and disruptive initiative that seeks to remove the barriers between education, business and industry.

 

UpRising offers senior high school Design & Technology students the opportunity to

connect with business & industry, research, government and community, to

accelerate their ideas, test prototypes and promote their capabilities and design projects.

 

It allows students to gain support for their dreams and ambitions whilst helping to build the innovation ecosystem.

The Opportunity


​Each year thousands of design students undertake a major design project, spending months researching and building ethical and sustainable solutions to local or global problems.

 

How easy is it for these students to connect with businesses and community? 

How easy is it for industry to get into the classroom and develop collaborations?

 All too often these commercially viable, enterprising projects, end up gathering dust in a cupboard.


Talented entrepreneurial design students need connections to

reach their full potential.

Now in it's fifth year, UpRising has a proven track record of

inspiring and elevating our young design talent, helping to nurture Australia's innovation ecosystem.

 

UpRising

 

Connect to the classrooms of tomorrow

to shape the nation's future,

today.
