Welcome to the Student Zone at Microsoft Build 2021!

This README contains resources related to sessions at the Student Zone from Microsoft Build 2021!

How can I find the resources mentioned in the Student Zone sessions?

Below we have a table of each session, speaker, and resources. It also includes links to the live session or video recordings, each of which is 45 minutes long. If you want to take a look at all of the sessions, you can check them out on the Microsoft Build Schedule Builder here.

We have also created a convenient Microsoft Learn Collection that contains all of the Microsoft Learn modules and learning paths that are listed below for you to browse and continue your learning journey!

Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors

The Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador community is for students—like you--who want to use tech to solve real-world problems with like-minded peers, establish themselves as mentors and leaders in their community, and amplify their impact. Student Ambassadors get the opportunity to connect with other students around the world (from 102 countries and counting!), foster their own online communities, get training and earn certifications, and tackle practical challenges, all while building key technical and soft skills to help them succeed.

Imagine Cup

For nearly two decades, students from around the world have participated in Microsoft’s global technology competition, the Imagine Cup, to bring their unique tech solutions to life. But the Imagine Cup is more than just a competition — you can work with friends (and make new ones!), network with professionals, gain new skills, make a difference in the world around you, and get the chance to win cash and cloud credits. Join the over 2 million students who have participated in the Imagine Cup!
