The University of Advancing Technology (UAT) was proud to participate in Tempe’s 12th annual STEAM Festival, Geeks Night Out, a signature event of the Arizona SciTech Festival.

Geeking Out in Tempe

Held in partnership with the City of Tempe and supported by organizations like State Farm and the Tempe Diablos, Geeks Night Out transformed the city into an interactive playground for learners of all ages. UAT joined more than 60 organizations in delivering engaging exhibits and activities, providing a firsthand look at the exciting intersections of technology and creativity.

At UAT’s booth, attendees had the opportunity to explore cutting-edge technology, including robotics, coding exercises, and virtual reality experiences. Our faculty and students engaged with curious minds, demonstrating how innovation shapes the future. Whether experimenting with AI, diving into game development, or learning about cybersecurity, visitors got a taste of what makes UAT a leader in advancing technology education. Community Partner, GenTech Support Inc accompanied UAT with their slew of their battle bots, gaming boxes and digital design displays. 

Collaborative Tech

As an institution dedicated to fostering technology-driven education, UAT values opportunities like Geeks Night Out to connect with local schools, businesses, and fellow higher education institutions. The event’s collaborative spirit—bringing together Tempe Elementary School District, Tempe Union High School District, Kyrene School District, East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT), Arizona State University, and Rio Salado College—reflects a shared commitment to preparing future innovators.
