LEARNING

No experience with Data & AI? No problem.
All the knowledge needed to create prototypes for the hackathon case can be gained by completing the following Microsoft Azure Cloud Skill Challenges:

Data (8 modules, 3 hr 43 min)
https://aka.ms/csc/data-challenge

Azure storage (9 modules, 4 hr 35 min)
https://aka.ms/csc/storage-challenge

AI (14 modules, 9 hr 49 min)
https://aka.ms/csc/ai-challenge

Challenge materials and services needed to complete them are accessible until 31.8.2021. By completing the challenges, participants gain experience, achievements and trophies on their Microsoft Learn account and become eligible to win additional prizes from Microsoft (goodie boxes).

While the challenges will not be active in September, learning materials will still remain accessible, so you can continue learning and gaining skills needed to create innovative solutions for the case presented at Data & AI Hackathon.
