6Under 26
Australia’s hottest young innovators
to watch in 2013
YOUNG PEOPLE
  SHOULD

CREATE
THE FUTURE
 NOT JUST
INHERIT
     IT
Youth not for profit Vibewire has announced its inaugural 6 under 26.

We want to recognise the six young people who have created the greatest impact
           or change in their communities through social initiatives.

 This year’s 6 under 26 are from a broad range of backgrounds with a variety of
  projects, from Indigenous youth empowerment initiatives, sustainable food
 movements, programs that foster social entrepreneurship skills in high school
students, to organisations that encourage young women to take up engineering
                                and technology.
Since 2010, Vibewire in conjunction with the
Powerhouse Museum has been hosting the
monthly fastBREAK innovation series
featuring Australia’s young innovators.

Drawn from the ranks of fastBREAK
speakers and the broader Vibewire
community, 6 under 26 showcases the
innovators to watch in 2013.

Commision, he is also an award-winning short film documentary maker and runs his own
