About This Event

Terrible Ideas happen everywhere – from pottery to programming. This event is a challenge to create the most terrible, awful, brilliant ideas you can think of!

From robot-driven tattoo guns and soleless Jandals to vegemite flavoured fudge and a camera that only takes a photo when you're blinking, join us in a celebration of failure, creativity, and stupid, terrible decisions.

As Australia’s leading university-based entrepreneurial program, UNSW Founders has a proven track record of success. Since its inception in 2018, the program has supported 200+ startups every year, provided entrepreneurial skills training to 25,000+ individuals, provided over 10,000 coaching and mentoring sessions, and incubated (co-located) 70+ startups on campus to foster collaboration with the UNSW business, industry, academic, and research networks.
