[Yr11 Information Technology] Student workshops at Swinburne

[Lappin, Jason M]

Hi List
Myself and my Tech guy are having trouble downloading visual basic express form Microsoft due to accessing via a proxy server. How have other schools got around this problem or does someone have the full installation file for download rather than the Bootstrapper.
I am out of options if I cant download Visual Basic Express as I am unfamiliar with programming and was planning on using Adrian Janson's tutorials.
Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks again list
regards

Dear all -

Apologies for the cross posting.  Swinburne University of Technology is
hosting an all-day event for Year 10 and 11 students interested in ICT
and Engineering.  The program consists of four main sessions:

"GR8 Expectations - Changing the world with telecommunications" looks at
the history of telecommunications from Morse Code to 4G.

"An Inconvenient Network - Sustaining the Internet" unveils the hidden
costs associated with the internet and how we can make the
telecommunications process more sustainable.

"VOIP & Online Games Workshop" where student participate in hands-on
activities in our labs.

"World Of Intelligent Robots" gives students an appreciation of robotics
and mechatronics by allowing them to program and operate model robots.
