Data Lake Workshop (Badge 4)

Course Overview

Our Data Lake Workshop (DLKW) covers non-loaded data and the tools you can use in Snowflake to access and analyze that data. Learn about non-loaded data, unstructured data, GeoSpatial data, and hear about the Iceberg tables that are coming soon! Get hands on experience with Parquet and GeoJSON data, and image data. Run GeoSpatial Functions and create your own User Defined Function. This workshop is highly interactive with reflection questions, hands on lab work and automated lab work checks! Fast-paced and informative, light in tone, scenario-driven and metaphor rich.

Prior Knowledge & Experience

We strongly advise completing the Hands On Essentials Series in order (Badges 1, 2, and 3 before this 4th badge) as these workshops put learners in the best position to succeed in this workshop. In lieu of earning the previous badges, six months of hands on Snowflake usage could be substituted.

Scenario-Based

We do our work alongside Zena, an amateur app developer who loves data. She and her friend, Mel, learn to use Snowflake tools on unstructured data and non-loaded structured and semi-structured data. They learn what geospatial data is, and how it can be used with geospatial data functions.

Time to Complete

Most learner take between 8 and 12 hours to complete this workshop.

Grading

This course is not for learners who require step-by-step instructions. You will be expected to independently apply previously learned concepts to new tasks without step-by-step guidance.

To complete the workshop, you will watch videos, answer quizzes, and finish labs auto-graded by DORA, our grading robot. DORA will issue your badge within 24 hours of course completion.

Lab Environment

Don't sign up for a trial account until you are given step-by-step instructions within the course flow. Since this is the first course, we are more precise with the steps.
