Shining a light on Australia’s first innovators. Icons of Australian Innovators project will create a suite of new icons for us to use for when we talk about innovation. Yes, Thomas Edison was a bright innovator with his invention of the lightbulb but why don’t we talk more about David Unaipon and is world leading invention the sheep shears or the fish trap by Ngemba Wayilwan people.

Why is it needed?
Why is it that we don’t feature life changing innovations that occurred on these lands 60 thousand years before Edison’s?
Why isn’t David Unaipon’s world leading sheep shears proudly displayed on science textbooks?

What will it do?
These icons are most relative to culture and country and representing the first innovations of this country.
Learning and un learning - let’s use icons to shine a light on our first innovators
Be a force for good! Making the world a better place through positive actions, inclusion and diversity. Let's use design to educate are inspire people
How will it be successful?
We want to get it right but also keen to get on with it! Key blockers here are putting it out there, getting excitement, some funding and seeing how it goes. At this stage we think it would be less than $20k to get it off the ground from designer, project manager and advertising.
Help amplify the icons inside and outside platform - how can we get these icons in front of as many people as possible? Design for good - Design Challange
