The InnoYOUth urban innovation camp occurs two times a year and challenges 100 Victorian young people to create solutions for important issues that face communities today.
Situated in Melbourne and run during the school holidays, the camps consist of a series of workshops facilitated by some of Australia's greatest thinkers and teachers.

Students are split into 5 teams of 10. Over three days in September young participants will learn;
1.Productive Thinking
2.Post-It Note Ninja Brainstorming
3.Creative Visualization
4.Rapid Prototyping
5.Intellectual Property
6.Project Management
7.Visual Thinking
8.Goal Setting
9.Presentation Skills
10.Social Media Marketing
11.Business Planning
12.Social Entrepreneurship
After the workshop series is complete student teams will participate in the contest and produce their innovations.
The 2009 Innovation Challenge Topics
1. Think green ideas and go for a healthier environment
2. Recycle and reinvent products from waste
3. Redesign public places and recreation experiences for young people
Each team will present their Innovation for evaluation by a panel of business professionals. First, they post a company web site on our Internet server for online evaluation.
