As the Notorious B.I.G said, “If you don’t know, now you know” that on Tuesday, May 21st, there were some young’ns roaming Splunk’s SF building. Splunk4Good invited LPS High School for a visit as part of our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) educational outreach. Splunk4Good volunteers had previously mentored LPS HS students as part of the Technovation App Challenge. On this occasion LPS High School visited Splunk as part of their Week Without Walls that encourages their students to learn outside the school and gives them the opportunity to engage with their community.
After the high schoolers belly’s were full from the open taco bar, the day continued with Splunk-ducated fun! Introductions were made, then Splunk Sr Product Manager Divanny gave an overview of the power of Splunk. Next Christy gave a Splunk4Good Demo, which blew their minds on how Splunk can be used in ways they never imagined. The meeting continued with Splunk’s former interns, Eddie and Petter, who gave a description of what it’s like to work at Splunk. Later that day the students were broken up into groups for a scaventour (scavenger hunt/tour).
Once the scaventour was over Christy handed out some schwag and some pony’s were given to new owners.
As the evening went on and the students were frolicking around the patio, we found ourselves saying our “See-ya later’s” as we watched the future of Corporate America walk away. 
The fun doesn’t stop there! On May 30th Splunk SF HQ hosted Oakland International High School! Stay tuned in for the upcoming blog post!
