Off late, Microsoft has been working on providing more and more learning materials. This is as per their Global Skills Initiative aimed at helping 25 million people worldwide acquire new digital skills.
Our goal is to ignite the passion to solve important problems relevant to their lives, families and communities.
Microsoft
Last week, they partnered with Netflix to release a new learning experience featuring a young female hero Fei Fei, who has a passion for science and explores space.
Newly launched
Microsoft has launched three new modules under Explore Space with “Over the Moon” learning path. These modules will help learn basic concepts of data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning:
- Plan a Moon Mission using the Python Pandas Library
- Predict Meteor Showers using Python and VC Code
- Use AI to Recognize Objects in Images using Azure Custom Vision
The movie’s story takes place in a beautifully animated universe and tackles problems real-life space engineers face.
How is it?
They cover the basic workflow of a machine learning problem similar to what I shared in my previous article here.
Exercises also provide a professional experience as they are built on Visual Studio Code and use Azure Cognitive Services.
Looking at it, seems a fun way to learn and explore the data world. Microsoft is really trying to make things simple and available to all. An effort worth to try out. Would recommend and ask to give it a shot.
Keep learning!
