What We Do
The Sixth Wave is a global student competition, owned by everyone who contributes to building it.
Where students who do things find each other.
Do something. Anything. Then compete, get recognised, and go further than you ever imagined. Connect with the most driven young people on the planet — people who refuse to be passive. Get in the room with mentors and decision-makers who are looking for exactly you, ready to take you and your ideas to the next level.
The Movement
A generation is rising.
For sixty years, each generation of youth has risen to challenge the world it inherited. Civil rights. Apartheid. Globalisation. The squares and the strikes. We are living in the fifth such wave right now, and in the fifth wave of technology at the same time.
We believe a sixth wave is on the horizon. Of both. The first in human history where young people do not just respond to the world, but build the one they want.
The protest generation is becoming the production generation.
The Founding Generation
The people who build it first.
The Sixth Wave launches in September 2026. Before then, we are selecting the Founding Campus Directors who will build it from the ground up, one per university, in the months before the world knows what it is.
One Founding Campus Director per university. When a university is filled, it is filled.
