Who here has said "this year, I want to learn something new"? ✋

How about “this year, I want to get certified” or “this year, I want to level-up my job skills”?

We can help with that! Kick off 2023 with a series of four challenges. Every week, explore a wide range of new skills. You might go deeper on a familiar topic, or you might learn something totally new. By the end of January, you will have learned 23(ish) new skills and earned 4 new badges. (And 4 Arcade points!)

Each game has four categories:

Data engineering
DevOps
Network engineering
An explorer category

The first three get you started on certification learning paths. You might find a cert you’re interested in pursuing this year. But certs and career paths aren't everything! The fourth “explorer” category goes off-script with tech that's just too fun to ignore.

Play now!

You are right, those two labs are having trouble. We are working hard to return them to good health. I hope to have an update to share soon!

"Data Engineer: Bigtable skills" labs not available. Was there a time limit to complete them or it's a platform error?

Happy to share the first badge of 2023.

Thanks @emily927 for fixing the Bigtable labs on time so that all who joined can now complete this game.

emily927

Hi everyone! The two Big Table labs are un-blocked. Please read the lab manual and follow the steps carefully to complete the labs. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for being patient. We hope to revisit Big Table in a future game!

Please note, we increased the game duration to allow a little more time for completion. Thanks again for your patience 🙏
