Orases Welcomes 9 Legacies for Take Your Child to Work Day!

Legacies visit Orases office to learn about the company.
Kids on wall at Orases

This Friday, Orases had a record of 9 students join us for Take Your Child to Work Day! The Orases team was excited to welcome our legacy team in a day filled with fun AND learning.

The day started with our very own Justin Park meeting with the students on the importance of usability in designing software/technology. Justin is an Associate UX Architect at Orases that has a passion for user-centered design. Justin engaged the students by relating technology usability to areas where the students had vast experience — video games and YouTube!

After a tough loss in dodgeball against their parents and a fabulous Chipotle lunch the students were able to put their UX lesson to use. Orases partnered with local, Elsewhen Brainery, to program Alexa Echo Dot skills. Orases provided each child with their own Alexa Dot and Andy and Cara Christianson of Elsewhen Brainery taught the students how to follow Alexa Blueprints to program their very own skills. To say the students enjoyed their lessons is an understatement. Cara, a former FCPS teacher and Andy, an Orases alumni team member, did a terrific job keeping the kids motivated and hooked on their new-found expertise.

We rounded out the day with an ice cream sundae bar and a competitive game of kickball — adults versus students of course!

Take a look at what our Orases legacies had to say about their day:
