Zig Zag Hub exists to help young people discover their passions, develop real-world skills and build the confidence to shape their own futures.
Through entrepreneurial learning programs, practical courses and supportive communities, we provide opportunities for young people to explore ideas, collaborate with others and develop the mindset needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our Story
Zig Zag Hub was founded by Carmen Rudd in 2016 as a small co-working space supporting start-ups and entrepreneurs. It quickly became clear that something much more powerful was forming — a community built around ideas, collaboration and innovation.
As more young people connected with the space, it highlighted a growing need for entrepreneurial education. Many young people had creative ideas and ambitions but lacked the support, knowledge and confidence to take the next step.
This insight led to the creation of the Young Eyes Festival of Innovation, designed to encourage entrepreneurial thinking and give students the opportunity to develop and present their ideas.
Over time, Zig Zag Hub evolved beyond its co-working origins to focus on what mattered most — helping young people unlock their potential through entrepreneurial learning.
Today, Zig Zag Hub delivers programs, courses and innovation experiences that help young people build confidence, develop ideas and create meaningful opportunities for their future.
