NetDay History

Past SHPE-SV NetDays

SHPE-SV's first NetDay was on October 5th 1996, SHPE-SV (formerly) San Jose connected Hillsdale Elementary School of the Franklin-McKinley School District to the Internet. Approximately 60 SHPE engineers participated in the event. Our members coordinated the project, designed and configured the school's network, conducted a web page training course for the district's teachers, and terminated the wiring in the school's classrooms. Approximately 400-500 SHPE engineering hours were put into this event. At the end of the day every single networkable computer (approximately 30) was successfully surfing the Internet.

Schools & centers networked by SHPE-SV:

Hillsdale Year Round School
Seven Trees School
McKinley Year Round School
Meadows Elementary
Windmill Springs School
Hillsdale Year Round School - Computer Lab Kennedy Year Round School
