Hands-on Learning Project

This internship includes hands-on labs. You will need a Google account (you can also use a Gmail account), in addition to signing up for a free trial on Google Cloud Platform. The free trial is limited to 12 months or $300, whichever comes first. Therefore, the internship is designed to be completed in four weeks.

With hands-on training, you can apply everything you learned in the video lectures. Projects will include topics such as Google BigQuery, which are used and configured in Codelabs. You will gain practical experience with the concepts learned in the modules.
