UpRising is an accelerator program offering 50 NSW HSC Design & Technology students the chance to connect with industry, business & community, to get feedback, test their ideas and prototypes & promote their final designs.
It's a simple program that does not add any more to teachers or students' workload. Each year UpRising Design students are offered big opportunities from business & industry to connect and develop their capabilities.
Entries are limited to 3 students per school.
