[Informatics] informatics Digest, Vol 17, Issue 18

Wed Mar 15 14:49:45 AEDT 2017

Hi Sylvia,

Although this isn't on a Wednesday, the Grand Prix are holding 'Driving
Learning' on the Thursday & Friday of the Grand Prix.

I spoke to a rep on the phone who said they are giving away tickets for
students/staff to attend sessions relating to career opportunities and
workshops in STEM. She did mention hands on workshops and I imagine it will
all relate to racing & the automotive industry. Might be some coding there
too!
