Today we first played an icebreaker game to get to know more people and feel more comfortable. Then we went on a tour of the offices which was interesting to see all the facilities and environment the programmers work in. After that we had a talk about the history of red hat which was quite interesting. we had our first break then in which I got to know a few of the lads as we played pool and mariokart. After our break we had a talk on health and safety. we then got to go on an early lunch in which we played a small bit more pool and mariokart. After lunch we had an interesting talk on agile and scrum followed by a practical to put what we had learned into practice. We did this by using mr potato heads as our product. We were split into three teams and assigned a product owner each. The product owner gave us a theme and we had to work together to create a potato head based on the Theme. We finished the day off by getting ourselves set up on the laptops. I enjoyed today and am looking forward to the week ahead.
