Hands-on Learning Project

This internship includes hands-on workshops. To enroll, you must have a Google account (a Gmail account is sufficient) and create a free trial account on Google Cloud Platform. The free trial is limited to 12 months of use or up to $300 in credits (whichever comes first). That’s why we designed the internship so that you can complete it in four weeks.

The workshops allow you to apply what you’ve learned in the video courses. The projects focus on tools like Google BigQuery, which are used and configured in Codelabs. This way, you’ll develop hands-on experience with the concepts explained in the modules.
