Dr Sandra Gallagher
I established Eureka Learning Network because I wanted to create learning that people could genuinely use. With a Doctorate in Information Technology specialising in Information Systems, and experience across the Army Reserve, TAFE, higher education, government, industry and technology, I have seen that effective learning must have a clear purpose, provide meaningful practice and build the confidence to act.
As an academic, I redesigned courses and assessments to move learning beyond textbooks and passive instruction. At UTS, I transformed a traditionally theory-heavy finance subject into a collaborative virtual-business experience where students applied financial concepts to realistic decisions. Following the redesign, the proportion of students achieving a pass grade or higher increased from 60% to 91%. The project became a UTS Learning Futures case study.
ELN Game Studio grew from that same philosophy: people learn more effectively when they can practise, make decisions and experience the consequences. Immersive environments give learners a safe place to do exactly that.

Michael is the Technical Project Lead at ELN Game Studio, where he oversees the development and deployment of the studio's projects and works closely with clients. He brings together a rare mix of technical skill and people leadership, built on an unconventional path into the industry.
Before moving into games, Michael spent two years as a Duty Manager at Dan Murphy's, developing the management experience that would later define his career. During COVID, he retrained at North Sydney TAFE, completing a Certificate III in Information Technology and Networking, a Certificate IV in Digital and Interactive Games with a game programming major, and a Diploma of Interactive Game Design.
He joined ELN Game Studio as a Junior Developer and, drawing on his management background, advanced rapidly to Team Leader before stepping into his current role leading the studio's technical projects.
Max McDonnell
I am a junior developer on the ELN Game Studio team, using my design and programming skills to help the team build an engaging experience. I always try my best to learn as much as I can about my craft and build things that I am proud of.
One of my strengths is having a clear vision for what I want, then focusing hard to make it a reality.
I recently graduated from RMIT completing a Bachelor's of Game Design, and winning the Program Excellence award for my
capstone game "Dero Dazza's Dirty Dash". I also managed to score a runners up prize for the ACMI X Lab competition, which provided
me with 3 months residency at ACMI X's game design studio space. Taking advantage of this, I've been working on my own new
project called "Exergy".
Outside of game development, I love playing piano and guitar, hiking, gardening, hanging out with my cat and friends,
listening to music, and (of course) playing games.
