Nicole Dyson is the driving force behind the award-winning educational provider, Future Anything. Through in-curriculum programs, student workshops, and teacher professional development, Future Anything nurtures the passion, potential and agency within every young person.
Each year the flagship Future Anything program, Activate, supports primary and secondary school students tackle real-world problems using entrepreneurial skills. The program culminates in a Grand Final where students from around Australia pitch their ideas to win a share in $100,000 in funding and support to launch their ideas in the real world.
The program has been adopted by hundreds of schools across Queensland and Australia and Activate is one of the largest youth innovation and enterprise competitions in the southern hemisphere.
A former teacher, Nicole’s vision and commitment to reimagining how entrepreneurial skills are taught in schools has engaged over 100,000 students and teachers in reimagining classroom learning to bring about meaningful change for the future.
