Preparing for the school
The school includes extensive hands-on tutorials with various codes, which we will run on OzStar at Swinburne. In order to ensure that you are able to participate fully, you must create an OzStar account linked to the school, and set up a VSCode environment on it before the start of the school. Information for setting up your OzStar account will be available in early January
