*This is an introductory level session - so newcomers are very welcome.
We will eventually move to experienced sessions, if those are more in your ball park.*

Want to get started on the Google Cloud/Data, AI, ML -offerings, but don't know where to begin? Join us for our Cloud Study Jam - Baseline: Data, ML, AI in the Google Cloud!
Together we'll work through several Google Cloud labs while
enjoying Polar Squad sponsored beverages and snacks(ie. candy/chips). You will get hands-on experience with the Cloud Console and Data, ML, AI offerings including AI Platform, Dataprep, Dataflow, Dataproc, Natural Language- and Speech APIs.

Then after our live session, you will have free access to more labs you can finish at home. Complete all labs in the quest and earn a Google-hosted badge for your online profile, and additional 30 days access to the training platform to compete any labs you want.

Bring a laptop and charger (PC, Mac or Chromebook)! The labs will run on all of the latest versions of the popular browsers. For the best experience, make sure your laptop has Firefox or Chrome installed. Don’t forget your charger.

At the event we’ll use a tool called Qwiklabs, a Google training product. If you have used Qwiklabs before, great! Make sure you know your password. If you have never used Qwiklabs before, save time by creating an account for yourself prior to the class at:
https://google.qwiklabs.com/users/sign_up

(creating an account is free).

At the event we will give you a link for free Qwiklabs access. Make sure you check the opt-in box for promos! That makes you eligible for additional free access after you complete the first series of labs.

Thank you for reading this far, looking forward to seeing you all at the event!
PS. Don't forget your charger.
