Trampoline

Overview

Remember how one of the best things about being a kid was finding weird stuff like leftover food and your grandma’s spare teeth, and bringing it to school for show and tell? Well that sort of exercise can also be one of the best things about being a culturally discerning adult.

If you still possess interesting ideas and an inquisitive mind, get down to Trampoline and put forth your discoveries — be they abstract, tangible or dental — to an audience that is up for cross-disciplinary discussion. Trampoline Day is a self-organising event that aims to address things that are appealing across a range of disciplines, with past topics ranging from intergenerational learning to wine tasting, 3D printers and, incidentally, the 1000-year-old human.

Nothing is locked in on Trampoline and nothing is given priority, with the only requirement being that each session is 20 minutes long and focuses on sharing something that the presenter finds amazing. It also takes place out the back of the Oxford Street Design Store, so if you’re stuck for ideas you can pick up something fascinating for less than $20 on your way in.
