We are proud to share that SHAPE, an exhibition showcasing outstanding major projects by HSC students in Design and Technology, Industrial Technology, and Textiles and Design from across NSW, is now open at UTS Tower (Building 1). This incredible event highlights the creativity and skill of young designers, including our very own 2025 graduate, Hugh Phan, who exhibited his impressive project among 13 other selected Design and Technology projects.

RoboJib – Hugh Phan

Recognising that content creators on social media and streaming platforms are making increasingly complex videos Hugh designed the RoboJib – A robotic piece of camera equipment that can increase both the quality and efficiency of making films on small budgets. It uses five motorised axes to provide the dynamic camera movements which were previously only possible with expensive automotive robot arms and large operator crews. A microcontroller hosts a web server, allowing remote control of the arm.

This project allowed me to combine my passion for cameras, electronics, and 3D printing with robotics. My favourite parts were the 3D modelling and mechanical design, addressing a problem I had personally encountered.

The exhibition is free and open to the public until 11 April, offering everyone the chance to explore innovative student work and gain inspiration. SHAPE is especially valuable for students considering Design & Technology for their HSC year, as it provides firsthand insight into the kinds of projects and creative opportunities the course offers.

If you’re interested in design and innovation, be sure to visit SHAPE and support emerging talent from our state.

We hope to have more projects featured from FSHS in the near future!
