Step into the future of space exploration at MechMayhem — a one-day celebration of robotics, engineering, and innovation during World Space Week.
At the heart of the day is a mini robotics competition in our central arena — fast-paced matches and rematches to keep the energy high — but that’s just the beginning.
What’s On
- Mini Robotics Competition – University students and High school teams showcase the battle robots they’ve built throughout the year, competing in a series of head-to-head matches leading up to the finals.
- Space & Technology Showcases – Discover how fields like electrical, AI, robotics, software, research, and more intersect with space exploration. Includes lightning talks, project presentations, and tech demos.
- Industry & Club Stalls – Explore interactive stalls from industry partners and QUT clubs, featuring hands-on activities, cutting-edge projects, and career pathways in STEM.
- Mentoring & Lightning Talks – Hear from QUT’s Astrophysics research group, innovators, and industry professionals in short, high-impact sessions that provide insights into STEM pathways, opportunities, and the future of space access.
