Throughout Terms Two and Three, the Year 7 and 8 Gifted Class took part in a program run by Future Anything, a Brisbane based organisation that aims to develop innovative thing and problem solving in young people. Students were given the statement “As an entrepreneur, showcase an innovative idea that reduces a negative environments impact on our planet”.

After learning about the United Nation’s Sustainability Development Goals, students could work individually or in groups to create a solution to a problem that linked with the goals and their own experience.

The program came to an exciting conclusion at a special Showcase Expo where we invited family, friends and teachers to hear all the amazing ideas.

A huge range of problems and solutions were creatively tackled by the students. All the innovative ideas can be seen below:

· Batman Moonlight Panels – Solar panel that works both day and night. “Comes out at night to save the day.”

· BusEase – Making public transport easy via a new mobile phone app.

· H20 Track – A robot that measures ocean water contamination.

· SeaSafe – A biodegradable take away container made from seaweed and beeswax.

· Endangered – T-shirt to raise awareness and funding for endangered animals.

· AquaSafe – A three layered shark safe wetsuit, protecting you and sharks.

· Reef Rescue – A fundraising program and sunscreen product to protect our marine ecosystem.

All teams demonstrated an incredible level of knowledge and professionalism! The students feedback that some of the highlights were:

“C�DZ��������ǰ����پ��Dz�”

“Feeling like we improved each time we presented our idea to new people”

“Showcasing our creativity”

“Personalising our stall to reflect our product and SDG goal”

“Expressing new ideas and ways of thinkings”
