We’re the New Venture Institute (NVI), and we help students build the skills to navigate an unpredictable future.
Innovation isn’t just for start-ups and tech bros—it’s about problem-solving, experimenting, thinking on your feet, and making things better.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We have a space at Bedford Park Campus called The Exchange, and we want to transform it into a hands-on, future-focused learning hub. A space where students can experiment with new ideas, challenge the status quo, and develop skills to thrive in an evolving world.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’re gathering a group of 8–12 students, innovators, and curious minds to co-design what The Exchange could be. You’ll get to test ideas, collaborate, and shape something real.
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
- Three interactive co-design workshops (2.5 hours each)
- Ongoing conversations to collect ideas from your peers
- Opportunities to collaborate, meet great people, and gain new skills
- A total commitment of 7.5 hours across three sessions, starting mid-semester in April:
- Session 1: Tuesday,15th of April
- Session 2: Tuesday, 6th of May
- Session 3: Tuesday, 20th of May
- A $50 gift card for students who attend all three sessions
- Enjoy free food and drinks at each session!
IS THIS YOU?
If any of these sound like you, we’d love to hear from you:
- You’re a Flinders student who wants to shape learning for the better
- You’re curious about innovation (even if you don’t think of yourself as ‘innovative’.
- You love connecting, sharing ideas, and making an impact
- You don’t usually get the chance to be part of conversations like this—but you should!
