Future Anything Grand Final Winners

Future Anything is a national program that challenges young people to create innovative solutions to real-world problems. In 2025, more than 8200 students across 85 schools participated, and the Grand Final brings together the top 8 student teams from across Australia as they pitch their ideas live to a panel of expert judges.

The students have won an incredibly generous prize package of cash and mentorship, valued at $42,000, to take their idea to the next stage of development. Their achievement stems from their participation in our SEED Program, where they developed 'Eco Drive', a system that detects wildlife activity to reduce vehicle-related accidents.

As Mimey and Eliza explained, "Our research indicated that Dubbo has the highest incidence of road collisions with wildlife in NSW, so we would hope to collaborate with local council, wildlife organisations, and Dubbo Western Plains Zoo to see our idea fully conceptualised." A great idea and an amazing achievement, well done girls!
