Before spring break, the Web Developer Club took a trip to SparkNET, an Internet firm located in the Green Bay area. The CEO of SparkNET, Chris Knight, led us on a tour of the facilities.
We were able to speak with a few of the employees along the tour, but we didn’t want to take up too much of their time, because they were really focused on their work. Some of them were using four computer monitors at once!
This company’s facilities were not what I considered typical. They have an exercise room, sauna, and a hot tub. The “behind the scenes” rooms hold some interesting equipment, much of which I have never seen before.
The technology, creativity, and innovation that fuel this place are amazing. It’s truly inspiring.
Excellent summary of the Sparknet tour Amanda. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a really great tour!
DeleteIt looked like a great time! I wish I could have gone but homework said otherwise.
ReplyDeleteSorry you couldn't be there. Hopefully we'll be able to visit them again in the future.
DeletePlans for the Spring 2014 WDC trip are underway, and unless we can get into a Google facility in Madison it looks like we may be going back to SparkNET. For more information please attend the Web Developer Club meetings.
DeleteThat was great. Thanks for sharing.
