UpRising 2025

UpRising is an online ‘feedback market’ for senior high school Design students. It is an open and safe platform for students to collaborate with industry, education, business and community. It connects young designers to a huge range of diverse organisations, creating beneficial opportunities for both sides. The platform showcases student design projects and talent whilst providing visibility and connections to industry & business.

UpRising’s assistance is gender and educational sector blind. It empowers and accelerates students to develop their designs to local and global problems. UpRising assists these students' capabilities and the products, systems, or environments they are developing during their final year, through connections and feedback. We also love connecting teachers together and industry together. UpRising is limited to 50 places each year.

UpRising's key events:

1. Seed funding offer, March

2. Industry workshop, April

3. End of Year event
