On Thursday 5/30 Oakland International High School had a blast visiting the Splunk HQ as part of Splunk4Good‘s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) educational outreach. Splunk UI Dev Kate Feenney, who volunteers with Oakland International in her spare time, did an awesome job acting as host and at making sure that the students visit was a great learning experience.
The Splunk4Good volunteers had the day planned out for these young talented minds. Nick Key intrigued our guests with the Splunk demo and implemented a little bit of coding during his presentation, Eric Grant did a great job at covering the demo, while Splunk intern Ross Lazerowitz covered the What It’s Like to Work at Splunk!
After the great food that was provided and the informative presentations it was time for some scanvenger hunt fun! During the touring of the site, the high schoolers enjoyed the life size pony’s and having to count all the baby pony’s that seemed to always be hidden.
Once the students completed their scavenger hunt, they showed off their basket ball skills on the court yard. The visit had come to an end, but the memories made will last forever. I can safely say that the Splunk employees have most def inspired the minds of these young adults.
