The Benefits

 

Joining the 2023 UpRising is very simple. ​There is no extra work for the student or teacher, in fact it is designed to reduce teacher workload.

​

• Students need to develop their Major projects by getting community feedback, so why not reach lots of interesting businesses and organisations by posting your MDP idea and create opportunities for you.  

​

• UpRising provides real life connections & experiences for students on their design journey, receiving recognition and industry support during their final high school year.

 

• This support is organic and delivered in an open forum, making it easy and safe for all students to access information and the importance of collaboration when working in the design & tech industry.

​

• Business and industry can connect with students to target their support focusing on particular projects that best match the skills and experiences that they see are most important and help develop their talent pipe lines.

​​

• It allows business & industry the opportunity to shape education and develop the future workforce capabilities.​​

“A collaboration between all stakeholders that continues the development and empowerment of innovative, mindsets beyond the classroom, for the betterment of Australia.”

​

How it works

​

1. Teachers register three students from their senior Design & Technology class. There is a limit of 3 students per school and a registration fee of $120 per school.

​

2. The first 50 design students to be registered create an online post of their major project idea, stating the problem they are addressing and the help they need. 

​​

3. Once students have completed the registration process they will be upgraded to Authors and be able to write and post their MDP ideas, (see last years projects), instantly attracting likes, feedback, offers of assistance, mentorship, technical assistance and or help with supplies of materials.​ Students respond to comments and feedback to maintain these connections and practice their network building skills.

​

4. In March, three students receive $200 - 300 worth of Seed Funding through a People's Choice mechanism. 

​​

5. At the end of July all of the projects are voted on by the UpRising Alliance group, with the top three projects / students invited to attend the international Good Design Australia Awards ceremony held at the ICC.
