Murdoch Esports & Experience Day
FREE event! FREE lunch! FREE fun!
ÍíÒ¹¸£ÀûÍøÕ¾ invites your school to participate in the Murdoch Esports & Experience Day 2026 — a unique, excursion that blends competitive esports with meaningful career exploration. Taking place on 4 September (8.45am–2.30pm), the day is designed to provide students with insight into emerging digital industries while supporting pathways conversations around higher education.
In addition to the Rocket League tournament, students will participate in a range of structured learning experiences, including Creative Media workshops led by Murdoch academics and students, offering hands-on exposure to game design, digital storytelling, and interactive technologies. A dedicated careers and pathways expo will feature short presentations on university study options, alternative entry pathways, and future career opportunities across esports, creative media, and communications. Students will also engage with current university students, view industry-relevant projects, and explore interactive showcases.
Campus tours will highlight Murdoch’s esports facilities and broader learning environments, helping students contextualise their future study options. Complemented by immersive activities such as drone racing, virtual reality, and robotics demonstrations, the day supports student engagement while reinforcing links between classroom learning and real-world applications.
