Applied Learning Project
Throughout the program, students will participate in interactive exercises that provide opportunities to practice and apply what they have learned. They use Microsoft Learn Sandbox. It is a free environment that allows students to learn Microsoft Azure and work with Microsoft Azure resources and services in real time.
For example, when they learn how to create a SQL database, they will work in a temporary Azure environment called Sandbox. The beauty of this environment is that you will work with real technology, but in a controlled environment, allowing you to put what you learn into practice at your own pace.
To log into the Sandbox, you will need a Microsoft account. If you don't have one, you can create one for free. Learn Sandbox provides free, time-based access to cloud subscriptions without the need for a credit card. Students can safely explore, create, and manage resources without fear of incurring costs or disrupting production.
