WSTI Festi 2026: Grand Festival Day

WSTI Festi 2026 concludes with a free, family-friendly community day in North Parramatta. Explore practical AI, meet local makers and discover what people across Western Sydney have been building. No technical background is needed, and visitors can drop in during the day.

On the day

• Try live demos from local founders and challenge teams
• Ask questions about using AI for life, study, work or business
