Nigel's Kubernetes Pub Quiz...
… is a great way for your company to hang-out together in a relaxed atmosphere and learn about Kubernetes via this fun team building activity.
It’s also a great way to attract people to your vendor booth at conferences.
Nigel hosts a Kahoot’s style Kubernetes quiz (either play along individually or in teams – that’s your choice!) where you can test your knowledge – and who knows you might just learn something new – all whilst having a few laughs along the way.
This is a great opportunity for you to pick a topical containers subject of interest (chosen in advance) for your team to learn.
A typical agenda can look like this
- Intros and shout-outs
- Quiz round 1: ~10 or so fun Kubernetes questions
- Topic discussion: Let’s chat on a topic like service mesh, serverless, etc.
- Quiz round 2: ~10 or so more questions (usually the picture round)
- Free chat: More talking with either Nigel in what could be an intimate and spontaneous Q&A
- Quiz Round 3: ~ 10 or so miscellaneous Kubernetes questions
- Last orders: Banter
How the Pub Quiz started and where it's heading
The Kubernetes Pub Quiz started out as a cool and easy way for the tech community to hang-out in a “no pressure” environment for the purpose of learning about Kubernetes in a fun way. We weren’t sure how the term “pub quiz” would translate or how well it would be understood around the world, but it became an instant success that started to grow with rapid popularity as people just loved this unique way of learning.
It was such a hit that this simple virtual hang-out quickly developed into companies asking Nigel to host either in-house or virtual pub quizzes for team building events or as part of their annual events. It’s also progressed to be a popular way to draw crowds to your vendor booth at conferences.
With all of the laughs that easily come from these relaxed conditions, people love this chilled chance to learn about Kubernetes whilst having fun.
