Emil from 8th grade has been on work experience at GPower

What does it really mean to be part of a software company? Fourteen-year-old Emil Andersen got a small taste of that last week, when he did work experience at GPower’s headquarters in Hinnerup.

What tasks did we give him?

Since our primary tool is LabVIEW, one of our developers had, of course, prepared a few tasks to be solved using the visual programming language.

What is LabVIEW? [National Instruments]

Another task was also to build a robot out of LEGO. But as a work experience student at GPower, it was of course not enough just to build the robot – there was also a follow-up programming task to be completed.

School is not quite so bad after all

As a follow-up question to the work experience, we were of course interested to hear whether it had been more fun to be part of a company instead of going to school. And while we expected Emil to say that three days with the developers had been more fun than three days at school, the feedback was, however, a little different:

“It’s actually a bit more fun to go to school. There are always lots of fun and random things happening, and the days aren’t that long either” – Emil Andersen, Work Experience Student at GPower.

So even though we had the impression that we have a fun day-to-day here at GPower, it apparently cannot compete with what happens at school 😊
