A big thank you to IGEA, Riot Games, and Chaos Theory for hosting the IGEA Educates Studio Tours, an inspiring event focused on connecting game development education with industry practice.
This valuable experience gave educators a closer look at the challenges students face as they transition from study to studio. By exploring these knowledge gaps, we can better align our teaching with the skills and confidence students need to succeed in professional environments.

As part of the UTS Tech Festival 2025, Waypoint Presents: Pitch – Real Talk, No Stakes flipped the typical pitch night on its head.
