About InnovatED

Innovated is a free, educational resource aimed at helping Australian teachers uncover their student's own creativity and imagination. It reveals the ideas that shape the world we live in and emphasises the value of creativity and the very real opportunities it generates.

By linking the concepts of innovation and intellectual property to the KLAs for years 5-9, InnovatED opens up a world of ideas for both teachers and students to explore.
