On 6/24 Splunk4Good invited Fremont High School’s Robotics team for a visit as part of our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) educational outreach. There was a little bit of rain, but Splunk4Good did not allow that to be a roadblock on delivering a memorable experience for the Fremont High School students.
Two important facts: the Fremont Robotics team is an extra curricular club that offered to the high school students. Also, Fremont High School is not based out in Fremont, it is actually located in Sunnyvale.
Now lets get back to their visit.
Ashwin, the Splunk BizDev team member extraordinaire did an awesome job hosting this visit and making sure these students had a unique experience at the SF HQ. Christy covered the Splunk demo and Joe, former intern and now FT Splunker, spoke about what it’s like to work at Splunk. The scavenger hunt/tour was up next, which is always a great opportunity for students to ask questions one-on-one.
This young, bright group had asked great questions about technology as well as how to get into the tech industry. It was an educational day for the students and Splunkers were inspired by enthusiasm and professionalism of these students! I am sure they will be a force to reckon with at the next Robotics competition and beyond.
