Welcome to the Student Zone at Build 2020!
We are so excited to provide support for you to not only learn by listening and watching, but by doing! Explore this repository to find starter code for some of the projects and demos from the Student Zone!
What is Build?
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 Build we create a session track specifically aimed at student developers. 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 a bit outside of these exact ages, you still might find this content useful for your coding journey too!
Where can I find the Student Zone Sessions?
Make sure you register for the Build conference! You can find the Build 2020 Registration here. Next, head over to the Community Connections and find the Student tab. Add all of the sessions to your schedule builder!
