Frequently asked questions
Future Academy is currently for teens aged 13–17. This is to ensure participants are engaged, focused and getting the best experience.
Each day runs from 9:45 AM to 3:00 PM. You may drop your child/children off from 9:15 so we can start promptly.
Please ask them to bring themselves, their creativity, and a packed lunch. All learning materials and refreshments are provided.
Yes! Students will showcase their ideas and projects to friends and family at a special showcase event on the final day.
We value your privacy. We will only share student photos, names, or project work with your explicit written consent. You’ll have the option to opt in or opt out during enrollment.
Students retain full ownership of any original ideas, projects, or content they create during Future Academy programs. We may request permission to showcase outstanding work (with credit) for marketing or educational purposes, but it is completely optional.
They'll develop real-world skills beyond school, like generating business ideas, working as a team, speaking confidently, and exploring basic tech and AI tools. It's hands-on, fast-moving, and designed to help them think creatively, solve problems, and confidently build their future.
Future Academy is designed for all teens, whether they love tech, creativity, entrepreneurship, or want to build confidence and try something new. We focus on real-world skills like problem solving, idea generation, teamwork, leadership, and communication, with technology as a tool, not the whole f
You’ll be working in teams to come up with big ideas, create prototypes, and pitch your projects. Think building a business, designing a new app, or tackling real-world problems.
Not at all! We’ll teach you the basics of creative tech tools and help you find the role that fits you - whether it’s designing, leading, or presenting.
That’s totally okay! Most teens come solo, and we kick off with team-building games so everyone feels welcome from day one.
No way! It’s all about doing, creating, and working together. You’ll get to prototype, present, and even compete in small challenges.
You'll need just yourself, some energy, and a willingness to try new things! A laptop would be handy, but it's no problem if you don’t have one - we’ll have everything you need to create and collaborate.
Besides new skills and friends, you’ll take home Future Academy swag and a sense of accomplishment for building something real. There will also be prizes and a certificate of completion to recognise your achievements!
Nope! It’s way more hands-on and creative. We’re all about thinking differently and building cool things together.
