Magic meets modern technology!

With delicious pizza fueling our spirits, we’re proudly claiming three badges! In this blog post, we’ll dive in with the same courage and determination Harry displayed in the Triwizard Tournament.

💣 Feature bombing

From the very beginning, our goal has been to unite multiple platforms into one seamless, feature-packed experience with a Weasleys’ twist. On our homepage alone, users can:

  • Get sorted into a house.
  • Chat with friends.
  • Check the calendar for Hogwarts classes and social events.
  • Get help from Hermione Bot for academics or planning.
  • Team up with Prank Bot to mastermind mischief.

These features don’t just exist – they’re alive and interactive, ensuring the experience is magical, dynamic, and fun. We’ve officially mastered the art of feature bombing (without overwhelming) and are ready to claim this badge!

🦎 Chameleon

Our app is built with adaptability at its core, ensuring a magical experience no matter what device you’re using. Whether it’s the compact elegance of an iPhone 13 or the expansive screen of an iPad, our interface scales perfectly without compromising usability or design.

Below, you can watch a short video showcasing the app’s responsiveness in action. Magical, right?

And last but certainly not least, the…

Embracing Team Spirit and Magic at the Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge

As a developer, there are plenty of challenges that push our coding and problem-solving abilities to new heights. But what happens when you throw a bit of creativity and a touch of magic into the mix? Well, that’s exactly what is happening at the Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge. Not only that we are deep diving into cloud technologies and tackling some truly innovative problems, but we also having a blast embracing our inner nerds with Harry Potter-themed costumes and decorations. 🪄✨

But the true magic of the challenge lay in how our team is working together! Each member of our team is bringing something unique to the table, whether it was deep technical knowledge, fresh ideas, or a skill for problem-solving. We are leaning on each other’s strengths, just like a well-balanced Hogwarts house working together to conquer a tough assignment.

We got our Hogwarts Express tickets, so Harry and Hermione went through the 9 and 3/4 platform! Don’t believe it? Here’s the proof!

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 😴
