The Malta College of Arts, Science, and Technology (MCAST) is pleased to announce the launch of the 69th edition of MCASTlink, focusing on the themes of Innovation and Creativity. These concepts are at the core of our mission to prepare students for a rapidly changing world.

This edition highlights the latest projects from MCAST students and members of staff, spanning a wide range of fields—including digital technology, engineering, fashion, performing arts, journalism, business, sports, hair and beauty and sustainable development. Readers will discover inspiring stories of students, alumni and members of staff who are challenging the status quo, addressing real-world issues and expanding the limits of possibility through innovative and creative solutions.

A feature article in this edition spotlights an ICT student who is transforming communication accessibility for the Maltese deaf community through AI-powered assistive technology. Other articles celebrate student achievements in prestigious local events such as Malta Fashion Week and the Premju Ġieħ l-Artiġjanat. The edition also explores creative sustainability initiatives, cutting-edge developments in performing art, fresh ideas in business and sports, as well as recent curriculum updates across various vocational fields. Additional features include insights on AI, digital twinning and virtual reality development.

This issue aims to inspire readers to think differently, embrace change and appreciate the creative process as a key element of success in any discipline.
