What is the Challenge?

The Future Transport Challenge is an educational program for teams of year 9 and 10 students to explore problems, design solutions and learn entrepreneurial skills. They research real world transport issues, the challenges of global cities and new technologies that offer hope. Armed with this knowledge the students develop a new product or service and create a pitch to sell the idea to potential investors.

Supported by design thinking

Design thinking lends itself perfectly to education by combining mindsets of creative confidence and empathy with the structure of creative tools and processes. In this way, it adds dimensions to project based learning that make for more authentic, engaging and productive student outcomes.

The NRMA future of transport challenge

We challenge students in teams of 2 - 5 to solve today’s big transport problems by asking them to…

1. Deep dive into the real world transport issues faced by Australia in cities and in regional and rural areas

2. Identify a need and apply human centred design to create a product or service to address that need

3. Think like an entrepreneur to create and deliver a product pitch to a panel of experts

4. Educate and excite an audience of their peers.
