Microsoft's Best use of Cloud for Social Good

Create a Microsoft Azure-based project which highlights a way to improve people’s lives and lift communities around the world.

The first question every team needs to answer when starting a hack is "What should we build?", closely followed by "Where should we build it?"

We've assembled a collection of self-exploration workshops where your team will do the thing, and see how you can use Microsoft Cloud with your projects. Your team can explore how to deploy and configure a website, add computer vision with IoT, or a low-code project with PowerApps. You'll get hands-on experience, and leave with a template from which you can build your own projects.

Prizes: LinkedIn Learning 1-year Membership (1 per team member), Xbox Ultimate Game Pass (1 per team member), $250 Azure Credit (1 per team member), $500 Donation to Charity (1 per team).
