@Yugali hey yugali try for better products this time.

My Arcade journey began because my work moved from the another domain to the cloud domain a couple of years ago. I had no clue about cloud and even how to create a VM. Fortunately, someone introduced me to The Arcade and I spent so many weekends learning new skills and even now I am curious to learn more and more (those points and swags are really unexpected bonus !). The Arcade converted this rookie to a person who can answer few questions and surprise people about her knowledge of cloud computing! 😀

Thank you @emily and @Yugali and kudos @PriyalMittal12 for wording your experience so well!

A very Happy Women's day to all of us. We are already on cloud nine courtesy the Arcade ☁️

Yugali

Thanks for sharing your experience. We are glad we could be a part of your learning journey!!! : )

shine12

Hello I'm shine, going through Google Arcade was like going on a fun trip through Google Cloud. Each level taught me something new about how to use Google Cloud tools. From basic stuff like storing data to more complicated things like using artificial intelligence, every part of the Arcade had something interesting to learn.

Playing in the Arcade helped me get better at using Google Cloud. I learned how to set up and manage cloud systems, and I got better at solving problems that come up when using them. The hands-on challenges made me feel more confident in using Google Cloud services for different projects.

Playing in the Arcade didn't just make me better at using Google Cloud—it also helped me in my career. The skills I learned there have made me more valuable to employers and opened up new job opportunities for me. Now, I just feel like learning more and more everyday, really excited for upcoming levels at arcade!

Hi,

I'm Barsha Saha. As we commemorate International Women's Day, I wanted to take a moment to extend a special greeting to all the remarkable women who make the Arcade platform what it is today.Arcade team members especially women members presence and contributions not only shape the Arcade platform but also inspire and empower all participants like me every day.

My journey with the Arcade has been nothing short of extraordinary. And I have started Arcade very recent.It all started with a casual encounter on YouTube, where I stumbled upon an opportunity to earn Swags from Google. Intrigued, I delved deeper and found myself immersed in a world of learning through the Arcade platform. Day by day, I dedicated my free time to completing labs, conquering challenges, and expanding my knowledge of Cloud technology. What began as a simple curiosity soon blossomed into a full-fledged passion for learning and growth.

The Arcade has had a profound impact on my Google Cloud skills. Through its interactive labs and engaging challenges, I've gained hands-on experience and deepened my understanding of various Google Cloud services and solutions. The platform has equipped me with the confidence and expertise needed to tackle real-world scenarios, making me a more competent and effective practitioner in the field of Cloud technology.

The skills and knowledge acquired through the Arcade have significantly influenced my career trajectory. By mastering Google Cloud technologies, I've opened up new opportunities for advancement and specialization within the tech industry. Employers value practical experience and proficiency in Cloud computing, and thanks to the Arcade, I'm well-equipped to meet their demands and excel in my chosen career path.

There have been many cherished moments during my time in the Arcade, but earning badges and collecting points stand out as particularly memorable. Each badge symbolizes a milestone achieved, a challenge overcome, and serves as a testament to my dedication and perseverance. From January 2024 I have successfully earned till 12 badges and 9 skill certificates.. Additionally, the sense of camaraderie within the Arcade community has made every achievement feel even more rewarding. Whether it's celebrating success with fellow learners or collaborating on complex projects, these shared experiences have enriched my journey and made my time in the Arcade truly unforgettable.

On this special day, I want to express my deepest appreciation for your invaluable contributions to the Arcade community. I feel truly privileged to be a part of this incredible journey with Arcade.

Hi, Yugali!

Im Konstanza, I am from Chile, a small but large country at the end of the world. I would like to start this by thanking you, but in Spanish which would be my native language "GRACIAS!"
Now I will go on, sorry for going round in circles. I was given a cloudskillsboost class at my school, however there is always something to learn, I feel that there is a lot of content that I did not know existed until I started to find out, to see, to try to review documents and woow, it is amazing how incredible these platforms become for any student or person with a desire to evolve in computer science. Unfortunately, I found that many items required credits, in Qwiklab for example in The Arcade I can't unlock items or credentials without having credits. I would really like to have the opportunity to participate and continue to improve... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Yugali

¡Hola Konstanza!

Entiendo español hasta cierto punto. Lo siento, sólo puedo hablar en tiempo presente. 😛

¡Muchas gracias por participar en Arcade y compartir tu viaje!

Each labs and programs are truly exemplary in nature. The skill badges I've earned helped me to learn more than than the arcade program. It gives immense ideas on other google products also. Clubbing other google products with cloud is funny to learn.

Looking forward for new and amazing arcade challenges ahead😉

Deepalgupta

Hi, my name is Deepal Gupta. When I saw someone had posted about a Google Cloud challenge level, I didn't know how to participate or what it entailed. But I really wanted to try my hand at Google Cloud challenges. Then, unexpectedly, a form from the GDSC team circulated about Google Cloud Gems. I decided to participate in this program. I completed the lab challenges and earned skills badges, learning something new along the way. I started from a point of not knowing how to participate in a Google Cloud challenge to successfully completing various challenges and gaining valuable knowledge about Google Cloud services and tools. The experience I gained from completing challenges and earning badges became a valuable asset on my resume, opening up new career opportunities for me in the cloud computing domain. .

Special thanks to The Arcade Team and especially to @Yugali for giving me this opportunity to share my experience! and looking forward to do a something new and challenges.

Happy Women's Day!

2)My Journey with the Arcade:

It has been an incredible journey so far, it started with just starting a challenge, then I got into Cloud as well for the 1st time, then I loved the GCP labs, the topics, everything. I love the challenges, the fun quests, the ai quests and labs, the helpful community members, the responsive and supportive staff, the thrill of exploring the various GCP services. It has been a journey, which started with curiosity, genuine interest, then enthusiasm, competitiveness, but now I am just glad I joined this challenge.

Hope to learn more and to even better memories.

3) Impact on Google Cloud Skills:-

My Google Cloud skills have gone through a tremendous change, from a complete noob in not only Google Cloud Platform but any of Cloud Platform services, but now I have explored and have at least the basics of many of the Google Cloud services, and have also explored several other CSP as well. It has been a great journey so far of learning Cloud Computing, and especially GCP.

4) Influence on My Career:-

It hasn't has any influence on my career as of now, since I am still a full-time student. But yup, it has become a possible career option for me , just because of Arcade and my journey so far.

5) Cherished Moments in the Arcade:-

Every moment is cherised, from the time I subscribed to Arcade to now, when I have gained so much knowledge, experience, and some friends along the way.

Hey everyone, thankful to be part of this community and representing women in technology!

1) Your Google Cloud Skills Boost Profile

https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/24e0acb1-ff8b-4503-8056-e1f18af575d3

2) Your Journey with the Arcade

I've been playing the Arcade since Oct 2022 starting with the Diwali Game Badges and have not stopped playing since! This is my fourth season with Google Cloud Arcade games and looking forward to many more games and badges to collect! 😀

3) Impact on Google Cloud Skills

Thanks to the free credits to do numerous labs, I've experimented with so many GCP products/services, but some of my favourites include using BigQuery, Looker Studio, Cloud Vision API, AppSheet and many more. I've also enjoyed some of the latest labs of exploring GenAI tools such as Vertex AI and hopefully more labs with access to experiment with Gemini!

4) Influence on Your Career

I work as a full-stack developer, so knowledge of cloud technology is very applicable. Although my company mainly uses AWS and Azure to host different products, knowing GCP makes it easier to work with other cloud platforms. I love using GCP and we do use a lot of other Google products at our company so I wouldn't be surprised if we start using GCP for new initiatives. While I don't need to deal with the intricacies of cloud infrastructure for my day-to-day tasks, I would feel right at home if we do end up using Google Cloud in the future. 😊

5) Cherished Moments in the Arcade

My favourite moment would definitely be the satisfaction of receiving my prizes in the mail after spending so much time collecting points every season! So far, I've received stickers, a travel mug, a cap, two different organizers, a tote bag and a backpack. I'm still awaiting last season's prizes, especially the Google Cloud hoodie!
