1st Annual KA Intern Games
If you were in downtown Mountain View this morning, you might have seen our interns roaming the streets thanks to Craig Silverstein in his infinite wisdom demanding an intern-only bonding activity. While we bond quite a bit as a team, there aren’t too many intern-only activities (mainly because we full-timers want to hang out with our awesome interns too). However, today we got the interns out of bed early (a good deterrent for the rest of the full-timer devs) and into the office to compete in the 1st Annual Intern Games (yeah, kinda like Hunger Games except without the killing).
We sent them on an epic photo scavenger hunt, and all teams rose to the challenge brilliantly. Check out some of our favorite photos capturing the action. There were also impressive videos from challenges to serenade strangers and perform street shows, but those are just for the full-timers to enjoy (on repeat) - or perhaps to save for an alumni event in the future.
Hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did!
