Bremen HS Computer Science Students Visit Google

“Just Google It,” a common saying that just about everyone understands now-a-days, has new meaning to a select group of students from Bremen High School. Sixty business technology students had the opportunity to visit the Fortune 500 named #1 company in the United States to work for, Google.

The business students had the opportunity to meet with California Googler Mike Schwab, Regional Education Manager from Mountain View, California, along with several other “Googlers” (as they call themselves). Schwab led the students through a 10X thinking workshop that allowed the students to team up just as Googlers do to “think outside of the box”. They also gave the students tours of the facilities and showed them how Google takes care of their employees with complimentary snacks and refreshments.

Complimentary breakfast, lunch, snacks, and coffee are only the beginning of the perks for becoming an employee at Google. Other perks the students learned about included paid maternity leave, freedom to explore and invent, opportunities to serve the community are welcomed and encouraged, and exploration of innovative technology are at employees fingertips.

“Mr. Schwab went above and beyond for our students. He made the experience unforgettable and allowed them to realize their true potential if they work hard in school. It was obvious that Mr. Schwab is proud to be a Googler! The students asked him extraordinary questions; he listened to them, answered them and treated them like the young adults that they are. My hope for the students was to expose them to a Fortune 500 company, yet we walked away with so much more! I wanted them to realize what life after high school could look like when they apply themselves to the fullest. The students were beaming with excitement after leaving Google, it was such a great experience!” said Teacher Amber Guzak.

Google is a global company that does so much more than just web browsing. Google also develops smartphones, smart contact lenses, social media applications, and much more. Bremen High School would like to thank Googler Mr. Mike Schwab for taking time out of his busy schedule to meet with the BHS students, this truly was a spectacular experience!
