Open Night + Kiwijam!!

Its time for a last bit of chaos before the semester starts

Open Night + Kiwijam!!

Whether you've been stewing on an idea all holiday or just want to mess around with some tools, Open Night is the place to start.

Come by the Makerspace for a chill evening of tinkering, building, crafting, and creating โ€” whatever your project, skill level, or vibe. Bring something youโ€™ve started, something half-finished, or just an open mind. The Maker Club team will be around to help out, lend tools, and bounce ideas around.

๐Ÿ“ Makerspace, University of Auckland
๐Ÿ•• Friday, 18th of July | From 6pm till late

Open to all. No pressure. Just good people, cool tools, and things waiting to be made. ๐Ÿ”งโœจ


Kiwijam

Brrr, Kiwijam is here! Join the annual biggest weekend-long game jam in Aotearoa from the 25-27th July, open to anyone and everyone in Auckland! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ’š

You'll have 48h to form teams (with students to industry devs) ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™‚๏ธ, develop your game from scratch with our theme this year (unveiled during our launch) ๐Ÿคญ, and optionally use the MakerSpace to generate a unique hybrid/physical game โš’๏ธ. Make connections, snack on free kai๐Ÿ•, and have a blast seeing the chaotic creations that spawn during this tumultuous weekend. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

At the end, submit your games onto itch, and we'll let the public and your fellow devs decide if your game is truly worthy to be the most xxxx this year (the categories are *always* sus). ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ†

It's an exciting event you don't wanna miss. And guess what, we have two awesome club presidents incharge of it this year. So why not join already?
