Microsoft Dreamspace - October 23rd

Rating: 2.5 stars

Description: Ms. Griffin and Ms. Cregan arranged a zoom meeting with Dreamspace in Dublin. We watched videos and got a virtual tour of the office. It was intresting to see. We were introduced to the types of jobs and skills that are required to work in Microsoft Ireland. We were then be challenged to reimagine how these key skills work alongside technology and STEM. We were in the computer room for it so we then learned how to code. We ended up making our own game using code. This is the link for the website we made our games on https://arcade.makecode.com/

3 things I liked:

1) Learning how to use coding

2) Getting out of normal classes

3) The tour of the building

2 things I learned:

1) How to use basic coding

2) About AI. This means Artificial Intelligence. It is used everywhere every day eg. face recognition on our phones.

1 thing I might change:

1) To have the tour in person not virtually.
