Preparing young people for the jobs of the future
The NRMA Future of Transport Challenge
Our mission: to solve today’s transport problems.
The participants: students in years 5-10 (stages 3, 4 & 5), in groups of 2-5.
Our aim: to encourage young people to follow their natural curiosity to solve real-world issues by innovating and thinking like entrepreneurs.
This is a 4-step process:
- Take a deep dive into the real-world transport issues faced by Australian cities and regional and rural areas.
- Identify a need and apply human-centred design to create a product or service that can address that need.
- Think like an entrepreneur to create and deliver a product pitch to a panel of experts.
- Educate and excite an audience of their peers.
