UpRising is a pilot program offering approximately 50 NSW high school HSC Design & Technology students the chance to connect with industry, business & community, to accelerate their ideas, test prototypes & promote their final designs. It's a simple program that does not add any more to teachers' or students' workload. Each year thousands of Year 12 students work on major design projects. They offer big opportunities for business & industry to connect and shape education, develop future capabilities or give back and support the grassroots of innovation - the classroom. Entries are limited to 3 students per school.
