Welcome to another Student Zone at Microsoft Build 2021!
This README contains resources related to sessions at the Student Zone from Microsoft Build 2021!
What is Microsoft Build?
Microsoft Build is Microsoft's professional developer conference where, you guessed it, professional developers come to confer! By that, we mean where developers come to learn about how Microsoft can better support their unique developer journey. There are technical sessions, opportunities to meet and talk with experts, and the chance to discover and grow a technical community.
What is the Student Zone?
Each year at Microsoft Build we create a session track specifically aimed at student developers: the Student Zone. The target age for our student developers is 14-21 years old, though that is really just there to guide us in scoping the content we create for you. So if you're outside of these exact ages, you still might find this content useful for your coding journey! This may be perfect for you if you're a career switcher or an even just a beginner!
How can I find the resources mentioned in the Student Zone sessions?
Below we have a table of each session, speaker, and resources (as well as links to the live session or video recording)! Each of our sessions is 45-mintues long.
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!
Learn TV
Learn TV is a 24/7 video channel where you can learn how to build solutions and use Microsoft products from the experts that built them! Learn TV is the place to find the latest digital content so you can always keep updated on the latest announcements, features, and products from Microsoft. Let us know what you think with the hashtag LearnTV.

Imagine Cup Jr
Imagine Cup Junior is an opportunity for students aged 13 – 18 to learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and encourages them to come up with ideas to solve social, cultural, and environmental issues. The top 3 teams from each region will receive a Windows 10 device for each member, an Imagine Cup Junior trophy, and a group mentoring session with a Microsoft Vice President.
