Today we received a huge delivery from the same Google team that visited us last week. When we found out that there  was a delivery received at the school from Google, we saw over like 25 Lego boxes sent to us from Google. We knew that would plan this suprise for us for being polite and showing them around our school. My favourite part of this day is that we enjoyed taking a pack of Lego home to enjoy playing.

A team from Google came to visit us to talk about the technology and opportunities Google provides. I was surprised about what their big message was to us. The team members names were Steve, Caro, Teyha, & Simon, the Google team told us about themselves and what Google does. Teyha inspired us by giving us advice of where to start searching for our goals, what we learnt from that is that possibilities are achievable. Steve also taught us that sometimes the job we want might not exist and to not make something 10% better, make it 10x better. Caro told us that it does not matter if you fail on your goal, as long as we have fun, celebrating failure or success. Simon explained that to begin with Google translate was compared with lots of English documents and documents in different languages to match the correct words from different languages to English. Did you know that Google got its name from misspelling “Googol” and that Google got its colours from the inspiration of Lego bricks? The advice that inspired me is when Steve said “Don’t make something 10% better, make it 10x better”.
