UTS Tech Festival 2026 is coming back on campus, and it’s set to be bigger, brighter and more imaginative than ever!
As we gear up for another year of bold ideas, hands-on creativity and future-focused thinking, let’s look back at some of our standout moments from last year's festival - the ones that sparked new ideas, curiosity, inspired collaboration and brought our community together.
Student-built games: where creativity levels up
Last year’s games showcase was a crowd favourite. Students opened their screens – and their creative process – to visitors who got to play through worlds built from scratch. From concept and mechanics to sound, visuals and UX, every game showed how creativity and technical skill collide at UTS.

Tech fest is a great place for us to show people our work, network and meet potential employers and share what we’re proud of.

Robotics & interactive tech in motion
The robotics and interactive technology showcase buzzed with energy. Students presented robots that walked, reacted and interacted with their surroundings, each one the result of clever engineering and relentless testing. Mechanical engineering, electronics, embedded systems and AI all came together in projects that wowed visitors.
