Future of Finance Youth Design Challenge Winners

Between January and June 2023, Young Change Agents challenged young people aged 10-21 across Australia to ideate solutions to reimagine the future of finance by tackling this question: "How might we see money differently?".

This was broken down further into four key themes below: 

1. Doing Good with Money: How might we use the money we earn or have to make our world a better place?

2. Gaming and Financial Literacy: How might we use the popularity of gaming to build financial independence in a fun way?

3. Money and Mental Health: How might we help people feel calmer and in control of their finances?

4. Earning Money in Different Ways: How might we help Generation Z/Alpha manage multiple jobs/income opportunities (e.g. side hustles, casual jobs)?

Using design thinking, delivered by talented educators across the country and Young Change Agents facilitators, young people worked in teams or as individuals to ideate solutions to recreate the future of finance.

This page highlights the top ideas that were selected by the judges which will be announced on the 1st of August.
