VITTA is pleased to announce the second of our ICT Industry Bus Tours for
students in 2012 and our first bus tour for girls.  This tour is intended to
encourage girls to continue with their ICT studies by providing them with a
deeper understanding of the opportunities that exist in ICT in Industry. The
places visited on the tour and the work done in each of them are all on the
cutting edge of technology and ICT in business, education and industry.

We are very proud  to be able to offer the following itinerary for the bus
tour:

The tour will visit four industry hosts so you can listen to ICT
professionals speak, see their workplaces and learn about what they do:
1. Peter Mac: Technology and Health Science - frontline investigation of
disease, variations in DNA, data mining and supercomputers 
2. Deloitte: Inclusive Workplace of the Year, 2012 - breaking into computer
systems and managing and protecting your data
3. National ICT Australia (NICTA): NICTA brings together exceptional people
from research and industry to create an ICT research Centre of Excellence -
developing world leading hardware and software including the bionic eye and
inexpensive radar systems for cars
4. Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI): One of Australia's
youngest and dynamic cultural institutions in the world of film, television
and digital culture - investigate through playing the most influential video
