Freebie
Freebie is an app that shows women where they can access free period products nearby, and what brands are available at each location. Putting accurate, real-time information in the hands of the people who need it.
The team will run a survey across both schools to find out which period care brands students prefer, then work to make those brands accessible in school bathrooms.
Her Mobile
Her Mobile takes a provocative approach to period product accessibility, petitioning a major phone manufacturer to create a female-specific phone with built-in accessory space for sanitary products. Beyond the product concept, the team wants to reduce the stigma around periods and make sure products reach those who can’t access them.
The team will partner with local sports clubs, council and industry to deliver free, period products at youth sporting clubs.
Hello Period
Hello Period is a bold mission to make female sanitary products completely free — funded by corporate partners like Cadbury rather than the people who need them most. The team also plans to collaborate with organisations like Headspace to reach young women through trusted channels.
The team will create and deliver a presentation to a local business or corporate partner, pitching them as the first backer to try the model.
EARTH’S Music Festival
EARTH’S Music Festival turns environmental action into the price of admission. To attend the concert, you need to bring a set amount of collected rubbish, meaning every attendee arrives having already made a tangible difference before the music even starts. It’s a festival-sized idea built to raise awareness of pollution among young people, using something they already love, live music, as the hook to get them involved in something bigger. Fun, community-minded, and genuinely effective: a great example of turning a big idea into a real call to action.
The Need to Seed
The Need to Seed centres on a clever, almost magical idea: a shovel that dispenses seeds at the push of a button, making it simple for anyone to start growing their own vegetables at home. The team’s goal is to promote mental health by improving access to healthy food, recognising that eating well and feeling well are closely connected, and that not everyone has equal access to fresh produce. By making it easier and more accessible to grow your own food, The Need to Seed aims to support both physical and mental well-being, one seed at a time. A day or hour when students bring only healthy food to school in their lunchboxes, raising funds for people who don’t have the same access to healthy food.
The Amazing Alien Ad
This team set their sights on some big, tough issues: gender stereotypes, bullying, and homelessness, and decided the way to tackle them was through storytelling. The Amazing Alien Ad is a cool, slightly spooky advertising campaign starring aliens, designed to teach both children and adults to do the right thing. The team’s thinking is that when people are unkind to others, real change has to start with awareness and education, and a striking, memorable ad campaign is a powerful way to get that message to stick.
Sport Finder
Sport Finder was designed to help more young people get engaged in local sport, and get matched to something that actually suits them. The idea is an earpiece, part neural chip, part headset, that offers personalised advice on which sport might be the right fit, while also playing music to keep things enjoyable while you play. It’s a smart blend of guidance and motivation, aimed at removing the guesswork that can stop young people from finding a sport they genuinely love, and making the whole experience more fun along the way.
Albert Einstein Revived
This team’s moonshot idea doesn’t hold back: a revived dinosaur that protects endangered animals by eating hunters who try to harm them, with an unfortunate (and accidental) Albert Einstein caught up along the way. It’s wildly imaginative, but underneath the fun premise is a genuine concern for the animals the team believes make our world better. The benefits, as they see them, are as ambitious as the idea itself: saving endangered species, raising awareness of the threats they face, and yes, bringing dinosaurs back into the world, too. A perfect example of big, bold thinking with real heart behind it.
The Pop Up Bot
The Pop Up Bot has a joyful, disarming approach to a serious issue: bullying. When triggered, it shoots glitter, instantly shifting the mood and interrupting negative moments with a burst of happiness. Behind the playful design is a heartfelt belief that everyone deserves to feel included, equal, and good enough, exactly as they are. The team’s hope is that small, joyful interruptions like this can chip away at bullying over time, making spaces feel warmer and more welcoming for everyone in them.
DIY Day
DIY Day reimagines what learning can look like outside the classroom. The idea is a town-wide festival built around a clear mission: pick up rubbish across the community, then turn it into cool, creative DIY projects. It’s hands-on, collaborative, and rooted in a genuine belief that education is more effective when it’s fun and engaging rather than passive. Along the way, the event tackles sustainability and community pride too, proving that cleaning up a town and having a great time doing it aren’t mutually exclusive.
