Last Friday while the Year 6s were at Dancing Like the Stars the Year 5s had a virtual visit with staff from Google.
Steve, Lauren and Paola introduced themselves to us and talked about how they came to work for Google. What they studied at school and university and what their jobs involve now. We watched a video of what the offices are like at Google in Australia and what a day might look like for staff who work there.
It was really interesting to hear about how you could include your interests like art and music with technology to create new things that people all over the world can use.
The week before our visit we learned about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how we can "teach" our devices to "look" at pictures and then "know" what they are. We taught our chromebooks to tell the difference between a flower and a hamburger!
The last part of the Google Meet was our turn to ask questions. We were very interested in whether children can work at Google, who owns Google, if you can create things like food with technology,
The best advice that we got was to give everything a go and to explore things as much as we can. Be curious and try new things.
There might be a few more of us now that have been inspired by the possibilities of working with technology to create new and exciting jobs and opportunities in our futures!
