Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors, Microsoft MVPs, and Microsoft employees in Korea joined forces to host the Microsoft AI & Cloud Learning Camp in July, aimed at university students eager to deep dive into Microsoft AI and cloud technologies.

 

 

 

On the day of the event, 130 students from 45 universities gathered at the Microsoft Korea office and delved into various Microsoft technologies from Student Ambassadors-led technical sessions, including PyTorch in Azure Machine Learning Studio, Azure Container Apps, Web Development using Node.js and OpenAI API, and Azure Deployment. The enriching learning experience from these sessions motivated student attendees to embark on a more in-depth exploration of Microsoft technologies, resulting in a significant number of them enrolling in the latest official learning initiative, the Microsoft Learn AI Skills Challenge.
