The NSW Department of Education is seeking expressions of interest from industry partners for the 2022 Game Changer Challenge. The Game Changer Challenge (GCC) is the department’s annual design thinking program open to all 2,200+ NSW public schools and engaging over 3000 students and 400 teachers each year.

Developed to empower participants with design thinking methodology, the program is a powerful problem-solving tool for developing capabilities such as critical thinking, collaboration, empathy and creativity.
