Posted on by

🌅 Rise and Shine, Wizards and Witches! 🌅

When the rooster is still snoozing and the sun has yet to cast its glow on Holmenkollen, Team PowerPotters of Cepheo is already wide awake, wands (and keyboards) at the ready! As the morning mist lifts, we’re here to claim the Morning Glory badge—a testament to our determination to lead the charge into Day 2 of the ACDC 2025 challenge.

🧙‍♂️ Day 1 Recap: A Magical Start
With a wave of our wands and plenty of caffeine, we had a fantastic start to our hackathon journey yesterday! Here’s what we achieved:

  • Nine badges claimed: From Early Delivery to Remarkable Team Spirit, we’re making the judges proud and setting the stage for more magic.
  • Housepoints gained: Our Hogwarts spirit is earning us extra points and inspiring others to embrace the wizarding theme.
  • Project progress: The Potion Production Platform is bubbling with potential, and we’re getting closer to perfecting our IoT-driven elixir automation system.

☀️ A Glimpse of the Morning Magic
As dawn breaks, our camp is alive with energy. From spellbinding brainstorming sessions to the clatter of keyboards, every team member is already hard at work, ensuring Day 2 will be as magical as Day 1. Our wizarding-themed setup continues to glow with Hogwarts enchantments, reminding us why we’re here: to brew innovation and have fun doing it.

💫 What’s Next?
Today, we’ll tackle more badges with the same gusto, including:

  • Chameleon: Making our app as adaptable as a Metamorphmagus.
  • Dash It Out: Summoning the most magical Power BI dashboards you’ve ever seen.
  • Hogwarts Enchantment: Proving we’ve brought the Harry Potter theme to life in every detail.

As the morning unfolds, we’re casting spells of productivity and innovation to ensure Day 2 builds on the success of Day 1. With nine badges in hand, housepoints adding up, and spirits high, we’re ready to make more magical moments happen!

✨ Final Thoughts
The early bird catches the worm—or in our case, the Morning Glory badge. We’re not just awake before sunrise; we’re energized, excited, and enchanted by the possibilities this day holds. Stay tuned for more updates from Team PowerPotters of Cepheo, and don’t forget to follow our magical journey!

The Magic of the Quiet Hours

Posted on by

There’s something truly magical about working before the sun rises. It is a special kind of stillness that comes with working in the early hours of the morning—before the sun has fully risen, when the world seems to be in a peaceful pause. For many of us, it’s easy to see the morning as a time to snooze a few extra minutes or rush through a cup of coffee before starting the day. But for others, the quiet moments just before dawn offer an invaluable opportunity to get ahead, focus deeply, and set the tone for a productive day. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about knowing that while the rest of the world is still asleep, you’re already making progress!

Ready to smash the day!

The sun comes at 08.48. and our team have already been awake for hours – early morning swim at the pool followed by a breakfast full of nutrition – who says Hackathons aren’t good for you?

Riddikulus. We are off to breakfast now.

Have a magical day!

HogWorkPlace – Your Magical Gateway to Knowledge and Convenience

The Team Who Must Not Be Named is claiming the Early Delivery Badge!

We are planning to create a modernized intranet to assist Hogwarts students with onboarding, occasional questions, finding information, and making their day faster and easier. We have named our intranet ‘HogWorkplace’. HogWorkplace will be a visual map where students can easily navigate and find the information they seek at Hogwarts. This is important because it can be challenging for new students to find information, as it is displayed in various areas. Our group has experienced difficulties finding information, especially during the onboarding period when joining our company, which is why we believe information should be gathered quickly and effectively. HogWorkplace will have several navigation points, including the Room of Requirement, Hogwarts Library, and the Great Hall. 

The Room of Requirement is a place where students can book a reading/study space and also reserve equipment they may need. The Hogwarts Library is where students can find information such as suitable books for their magic courses, blog posts, written articles, or recordings of classes. In the Hogwarts Library, users also have a ‘Restricted section’ where students have their own personal space for their ToDo’s for the day, Planner for the days ahead, or OneNotes containing their class notes. The Great Hall is where students can find the daily lunch menu for today and the week ahead. Navigating around can sometimes be difficult to find the specific places where the information is gathered. Perhaps there is a special tool that can help with that? 

With the evolution of AI and especially Copilot, we have decided to incorporate Copilot into our solutions. We will be using Copilot Studio to create our AI. However, we needed a mascot for our helpful AI… but who should it be? 

House elves are commonly used in families as helpful creatures that assist with chores or other needs. We have decided to honor the work they do by choosing one of them as a mascot for our intranet. HogWorkplace introduces the AI ‘DobbAI’, a tribute to the free elf, Dobby. DobbAI will help students with navigation, questions, or other needs they may have. DobbAI can obtain information by students prompting questions to it. It can also write to your local apps like OneNote, ToDo, or Planner if you ask DobbAI to create daily reminders or notes, which will be placed in the restricted section of the Hogwarts Library. 

The grind never stops 💪 starting up early to claim the morning glory badge 😴
