Learn the fundamentals of the Google Cloud Platform, how to run containers on it and how to use the platform for data engineering and machine learning. At this event, we will help you work through hands-on codelabs with Qwiklabs, a Google training tool. Then with a self study of 2-8 hours after the event, you will earn Google-hosted badges that you can use in your online profiles.

PARKING & TRANSPORTATIONS
This will be held in building A (room KIR-6THA-1-Black Stars) at Google Kirkland. When you arrive you can park in a guest parking spot by building A or building D (P1 or P2). Suggest the West entrance to the building as that's where we usually set up registration.

There is easy bus service to the Google Kirkland campus as well - Metro 255, 245 and Sound Transit 540 stop here.

Please note that this meetup happens in the main Google building. This means we need to provide building security with first/last names of attendees.

If you RSVP for this event with an incomplete name or alias, you will be moved to the wait list until that is corrected.
