Level Complete – Supanova Level Up! 👾

Our RSP team had an amazing time at Supanova Comic Con & Gaming’s Level Up, powered by the Australian Computer Society! We were featured in two panels — Behind the Magic: Career Pathways in Visual Effects and Beyond Software: Diverse Engineering Roles in Tech — and powered up our skills while exploring all the excitement of the event.

A huge thank you to Alannah Grech from the ACS for having us, and to everyone who joined our sessions, engaged with us, and shared their passion for creativity and innovation. Big shout out to our fantastic RSP staff Daria Kozlova, Kurt Debens, and Anna Hodge for bringing their energy, expertise, and vision to the stage.
