The Endless Games and Learning Lab is proud to host the Epic Games Industry Day at Arizona Tech Week, which brings leaders from Epic Games, educators, researchers, and builders from across Arizona, and regional industry partners together at the MIX Center in Mesa for a series of short talks, demos, and project showcases. The event highlights how Epic tools such as Unreal Engine, Metahumans, and Twinmotion are being used in practice at ASU and beyond, including real-world applications like visualization and simulation work with Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Alongside presentations, attendees will explore live demos and see the MIX Center’s virtual production stage in action, offering a clear look at how real-time 3D technologies are being applied across education, research, and industry. 

This event is a part of #AZTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.arizonatechweek.com

Join us for an exciting, hands-on workshop focused on exploring new Star Wars-themed UEFN tools within the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). In this session, participants will dive into the recently released Star Wars tools, assets, and devices, learning how to build their own authentic Star Wars games. We will cover key UEFN tooling, building Star Wars levels, and creating gameplay within Fortnite. Whether you've used Unreal Engine/UEFN before or just starting out, this workshop will equip you with the practical skills needed to bring your own Star Wars game to life.

The Epic Games team is hosting a hands-on Twinmotion workshop open to all skill levels. This hands-on workshop introduces participants to Twinmotion, Epic Games' powerful real-time 3D visualization tool. Attendees will explore the drag-and-drop interface to import models, apply materials and lighting, and produce renders, panoramas, and animated walkthroughs — all without requiring advanced 3D expertise. With additional support for VR experiences, virtual production, and game development level design, Twinmotion is a versatile tool for a wide range of creative industries. By the end of the session, participants will have the foundational skills to bring their designs to life in real time. Louis Cataldi from Epic will lead this workshop.
