Missed out on badges from Snowflake Expedition?

The Expedition lab recordings are on demand. Build along in a free trial account, pass the auto-grader, and earn a badge to share on social media.

Missed Snowflake Expedition, or started a lab and didn’t finish? You can still earn your badges.

The hands on lab at Snowflake Expedition provided an opportunity to earn a badge to be shared on social media. Register for free to watch the recording, build the lab in your own trial account, and run the auto-grader. If your build passes, you earn the badge, which shows you actually built it, not just watched.

Badge 1: Campaign Planning, Simplified (Marketing)

Build a campaign planning model with Snowflake CoCo. You take raw campaign exports, find campaigns that target the same audience at the same time, and then use Snowflake CoWork to ask planning questions in plain English.

Badge 2: Close Faster, Audit Smarter (Finance)

Reconcile payroll, the general ledger, and bank statements into one transaction model with Snowflake CoCo. Find the gaps, then use Snowflake CoWork to ask where the books are out of balance.

How to earn your badge

1. Follow the recording and the guide to build the lab in that trial account. Make sure you sign up for a trial from the lab page above, using the link for your region. The trial links on that page turn on the AI features the lab needs. A regular trial sign-up won’t have them, and you’d have to start over.
2. Run the auto-grader. You generate it on the lab page and run it in your account. It checks your build and tells you if you missed a step, so you can fix it and run it again. Don’t edit the auto-grader script. A modified script invalidates the badge.
3. Use the same email everywhere. The email you sign up with and the email you give the auto-grader must match. That’s how we connect your work to your badge.
