Power BI Competition for Kids aged between 9 and 14 yeaars

On Monday the 18th November, I have concluded the 14 weeks databases and data visualisation classes by running a #powerbi data visualisation competition for kids.   #mvpbuzz

Extremely happy that Reza Rad and Leila Etaati have agreed to be the judges for this #powerbi nz competition for the second time in a row.

I have given the links to makeovermonday website to choose their own data and come up with their visualisations. Altogether 14 kids participated in the competition and they were amazing.

I sincerely thank all the kids and parents Anusha Pushparajan, Puvana, Sreesutha Nampally, Vinaya Shetty, Govardhani, Swathi and  all others who are not there on LinkedIn for all their extended support without which the event would not have been successful.  Now I feel that the kids have learnt something useful over the last 14 weeks. :) 

Below are the photos of the top 3 winners of the competition. If anyone is interested in watching the videos of the kids presentations you can access the below link  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fQafgnyKAUTBP2XXxqE4W_AVgz7ApKs6?usp=sharing

Free Databases and Data Visualisations course for kids Weeks 12 to 14 update

It has been quite a while again since I have posted about the free databases and data visualisation classes for 9 to 14 year old kids.  So here I am with another update. 

For the last 3 weeks, the kids have chosen their datasets that they want to work on. The datasets were varied from windmills, UK population, volcanic erupitions, consumer spending, credit card transactions, artists etc.

I have taught them how to create Bookmarks and everyone are making good use of the  bookmarks in their reports.  Some have started using custom visuals.

One of the parents of the kids, Goverdhani Tammina stepped up to help the kids with their questions as there were lots of questions from the kids.

I really enjoyed the past three weeks as i could see the joy the kids are having when they are developing visualisations with the data they like.

Young Entrepreneurs workshop at Balmoral Temple

I have organised  a #youngentrepreneur workshop in collaboration with FiftySix Creations. Kids definitely had a great time in this workshop. Everyone brainstormed their business ideas, presented their innovative elevator pitches, even tried the tongue twisters.

Thanks to Tionne Young and Dylan from Fiftysix Creations for coming over and conducting this session and giving a golden opportunity for the kids to develop their business minds.


Here is a video clip that shows glimpses of the event.
