Not long ago, gamification was touted as the only way to reach millennials, with proponents arguing that it could be applied to every aspect of work. Since then, cracks have appeared and lessons have been learnt.
Gamification advocates believe gamified experiences have the potential to drive large-scale social change.
We are very excited to announce that the FEIT Prototype Exhibition (Spring 2019) was an absolute success. The event saw +200 guests from the UTS community (staff, students, alumni), industry partners, research partners, family, friends, and the general public.
100+ students from 10 different project-based subjects presented 32 amazing prototypes that included, but were not limited to: video games, software solutions, interactive media apps, cultural kits, to name a few. Attendees had the chance to interact with our top-performing students, see their fabulous prototypes, and more importantly, helped us judge the best student prototypes of the evening.

We are pleased to announce that for the third consecutive year, we have joined forces with FASS to facilitate a multidisciplinary collaboration between 3rd-year students in the BSc in Games Development (BGD) and the Bachelor of Music and Sound Design (MSD).
The two cohorts have done an amazing job combining their areas of expertise and have created eight exciting games with fantastic music and sound effects.
The UTS Interaction and Game Design (IxG) Student Society recently organized and hosted the first Interactive Media Jam for students and friends. Similar to a traditional Game Jam but with an expanded scope to all interactive technology, this event saw groups of students make novel interactable prototypes over a two day period, based upon a theme provided on the first day.
Do all the other things, the ambitious things—travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes…but as you do, to the extent that you can, err in the direction of kindness.
