This program transforms traditional schooling by focusing on the strategic development of 'enterprise' skills, empowering students to identify their passions, tackle real-world problems, and create innovative solutions. 


Celebrating its tenth year in 2025, the DeLorean Project supports around 90 students and 30 youth projects annually, fostering a problem-solving mindset from idea inception to execution. Recent accolades include top prizes at the 2024 Sunshine Coast Mayor’s Telstra Innovation Awards, where two student teams, Fundies and Room Ready, were recognised for their impactful solutions. With an official partnership with UniSC, the program also offers PhD mentorship placements, providing students with hands-on research experience. 


Rob’s dedication to witnessing students' growth and creativity reflects his commitment to making education relevant and empowering the next generation of leaders.
