    Speaker: Jaime Garcia Marin, Deputy Director, UTS Tech Festival

    It's a festival of mini events such as showcases, hackathons, game jams and a whole bunch of competitions where we bring challenges from industry for students to fix in the classroom but not in a traditional teaching scenario. 

    Speaker: Jason Do, Coordinator Engaged Learning

    It's the opportunity to interact with industry guests and the general public showcasing their projects.

    Speaker: Stephanie Lilin, Bachelor of IT majoring in Interaction Design

    It's just so great to you know play with the robots and try out the different games and see what my friends have been working on the semester.

    Speaker: Jason Do, Coordinator Engaged Learning

    And we invite all guests, including friends, families and Industry representatives.
