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.
Taking part in a unique opportunity that provides valuable insights into potential career paths is essential for ICT majoring students who are envisioning their future as a professional. In addition to the technical sessions, this event featured a Career Panel Talk and interactive Q&A session by diverse panelists including a new employee at Microsoft, an experienced Microsoft employee having various experiences in the IT industry, and the current Microsoft MVP who previously worked for Microsoft. Originally scheduled for two hours, the session's duration extended to an enthusiastic three-hour discourse, greatly surpassing initial expectations.
