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.
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.
Each year at Microsoft 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!
First please register for the Microsoft Build conference. Next, head over to the Community Connections and find the Student tab. Make sure to add all of the sessions to your schedule builder!
Here are some examples of the content and star speakers we have this year:

Microsoft Student Learn Ambassadors are a global group of on-campus ambassadors who are eager to help fellow students, lead in their local tech community, and develop technical and career skills for the future. You might find yourself organizing a hackathon to solve the world’s toughest problems, mentoring fellow students, or unlocking the next great idea with your team — it’s all up to you. Learn how to become a Microsoft Student Learn Ambassador.
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!
Imagine Cup Junior 2020 is an opportunity for students aged 13 – 18 to learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and create an AI for Good concept that they think could make a positive impact on the world around them. The top 3 teams (1 - 6 students per team) from each region will receive a Windows 10 device each, an Imagine Cup Junior trophy and a group mentoring session with a Microsoft Vice President.
Students can learn more about AI and build their projects live via our Imagine Cup Junior Teams events:
