The 21 | following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not 22 | exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses. 23 | 24 | Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are 25 | intended for use by those authorized to give the public 26 | permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by 27 | copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are 28 | irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms 29 | and conditions of the license they choose before applying it. 30 | Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before 31 | applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the 32 | material as expected.

For purposes of this Public License, 164 | simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a) 165 | (4) never produces Adapted Material. 166 | 167 | 5. Downstream recipients. 168 | 169 | a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every 170 | recipient of the Licensed Material automatically 171 | receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the 172 | Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this 173 | Public License. 174 | 175 | b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose 176 | any additional or different terms or conditions on, or 177 | apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the 178 | Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the 179 | Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed 180 | Material. 181 | 182 | 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or 183 | may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You 184 | are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected 185 | with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, 186 | the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as 187 | provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i). 188 | 189 | b. Other rights. 190 | 191 | 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not 192 | licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, 193 | privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to 194 | the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to 195 | assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited 196 | extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed 197 | Rights, but not otherwise. 198 | 199 | 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this 200 | Public License. 201 | 202 | 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to 203 | collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed 204 | Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society 205 | under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory 206 | licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly 207 | reserves any right to collect such royalties. 208 | 209 | 210 | Section 3 -- License Conditions. 211 | 212 | Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the 213 | following conditions. 214 | 215 | a. Attribution. 216 | 217 | 1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified 218 | form), You must: 219 | 220 | a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor 221 | with the Licensed Material: 222 | 223 | i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed 224 | Material and any others designated to receive 225 | attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by 226 | the Licensor (including by pseudonym if 227 | designated); 228 | 229 | ii. a copyright notice; 230 | 231 | iii. a notice that refers to this Public License; 232 | 233 | iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of 234 | warranties; 235 | 236 | v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the 237 | extent reasonably practicable; 238 | 239 | b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and 240 | retain an indication of any previous modifications; and 241 | 242 | c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this 243 | Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or 244 | hyperlink to, this Public License. 245 | 246 | 2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any 247 | reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in 248 | which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be 249 | reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or 250 | hyperlink to a resource that includes the required 251 | information. 252 | 253 | 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the 254 | information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent 255 | reasonably practicable. 256 | 257 | 4.

You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share 277 | all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. 278 | 279 | For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not 280 | replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed 281 | Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights. 282 | 283 | 284 | Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. 285 | 286 | a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE 287 | EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS 288 | AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF 289 | ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS, 290 | IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 291 | WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 292 | PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, 293 | ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT 294 | KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE.

TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE 298 | TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 299 | NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, 300 | INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES, 301 | COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR 302 | USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN 303 | ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR 304 | DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR 305 | IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 306 | 307 | c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided 308 | above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent 309 | possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and 310 | waiver of all liability. 311 | 312 | 313 | Section 6 -- Term and Termination. 314 | 315 | a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and 316 | Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with 317 | this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License 318 | terminate automatically. 319 | 320 | b.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the 334 | Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop 335 | distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so 336 | will not terminate this Public License. 337 | 338 | d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public 339 | License. 340 | 341 | 342 | Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions. 343 | 344 | a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different 345 | terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed. 346 | 347 | b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the 348 | Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and 349 | independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License. 350 | 351 | 352 | Section 8 -- Interpretation. 353 | 354 | a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and 355 | shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose 356 | conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully 357 | be made without permission under this Public License. 358 | 359 | b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is 360 | deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the 361 | minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision 362 | cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License 363 | without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and 364 | conditions. 365 | 366 | c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no 367 | failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the 368 | Licensor. 369 | 370 | d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted 371 | as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities 372 | that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal 373 | processes of any jurisdiction or authority. 374 | 375 | 376 | ======================================================================= 377 | 378 | Creative Commons is not a party to its public 379 | licenses.

Choose your path - [localhost](./localhost.md) or [cloud](./cloud.md) 4 | 5 | | [localhost](./localhost.md) | [cloud](./cloud.md) | 6 | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | 7 | | The best place to start writing code is on your own system - localhost! If you're new to development, or looking to add on new languages or frameworks, this is the best place to start. We have a set of resources available to help you get started in creating your first project or even your first line of code! | If you're comfortable writing code and using frameworks, it's time to branch out to the cloud. You can deploy your projects, incorporate AI and ML, create chat bots, and manage databases. Microsoft Azure is a full-service cloud, meaning you have access to a entire suite of available services and functionality. | 8 | 9 | ## Workshops 10 | 11 | During a hackathon you learn by building something with it. We've taken that concept and turned it into 4 [workshops](./workshops.md), each covering a different scenario and technology. The workshops will present you with a series of goals to achieve, during which you'll build out a solution. You can use the project you create and use it as the foundation for your project during the event! Check out the available [workshops](./workshops.md) and start hacking! 12 | 13 | ## Getting started 14 | 15 | Every hacker needs a toolkit. Here's the three great tools to get you started: 16 | 17 | ### Visual Studio Code 18 | 19 | [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) is the most popular code editor. Lightweight and flexible, Code can be used with almost any programming language and project type, from [Python](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial) to [C#](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/dotnet), [web dev](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/working-with-javascript) to [data science and machine learning](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/overview). There's also a [full suite of extensions](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/VSCode) available to further enhance your development. 20 | 21 | ### Azure for Students 22 | 23 | Microsoft Azure offers a host of cloud-based services and functionality. You can add [artificial intelligence](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services/what-are-cognitive-services?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) to your projects or build your own [machine learning solution](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/overview-what-is-machine-learning-studio?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). You can [host websites](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/static-web-apps/overview?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) and create [IoT projects](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/iot-fundamentals/iot-introduction?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). 24 | 25 | If you are a college student, you can sign up for $100 in free credit with [Azure for Students](https://aka.ms/a4s)! 26 | 27 | ### Microsoft Learn 28 | 29 | A hackathon is a great time to learn new frameworks and skills. Maybe it's a new framework like [React](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/react?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) or [Django](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/django-create-data-driven-websites?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), or a language like [C#](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/csharp-first-steps?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), [Python](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/python-first-steps?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) or [TypeScript](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/build-javascript-applications-typescript?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). [Microsoft Learn](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) has a full collection of courses available to you to help you improve your skills. 30 | 31 | ## Take it to the next level 32 | 33 | - [Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors](https://studentambassadors.microsoft.com?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) is a community of university students around the world with an interest in technology. Coding is our shared common language. You might find yourself leading your own hackathon, mentoring computer science students, or unlocking the next great idea with your team – it’s all up to you. The program is all about gaining leadership experiences and getting access to resources and develop your technical and career skills. And we have a lot of fun too. 34 | - [Imagine Cup](https://imaginecup.microsoft.com/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) is a global competition for the next generation of students. Team up, and use your creativity, passion, and knowledge of technology to create applications that shape how we live, work, and play. Every year, tens of thousands of students from across the globe compete for cash and prizes, and for the honor of taking home the Imagine Cup! 35 | - Interested in working at Microsoft? Check out the [internship and full time opportunities for students and recent graduates](https://careers.microsoft.com/students/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa).

While it certainly goes beyond just someone else's computer, there is some truth to the joke. The cloud is a catch-all term used for resources and services made available by different providers. You can use the cloud to [host your applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/static-web-apps/overview?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), [run virtual machines](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/modules/create-linux-virtual-machine-in-azure?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), and enhance your projects by accessing various services to incorporate [machine learning](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/concept-designer?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), [artificial intelligence](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), [chat bots](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/bot-service/?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), and a host of other features. 4 | 5 | ## Microsoft Azure 6 | 7 | [Microsoft Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) is a flexible, scalable, and full-featured cloud platform. If you can imagine it, you can build it on Azure, using the tools, languages and frameworks you're already familiar with. Python, JavaScript, Java, .NET - you can run them all on Azure. 8 | 9 | Using Azure you can run serverless code using [Azure Functions](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/functions/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), [host web applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/static-web-apps/overview?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) and [databases](https://azure.microsoft.com/product-categories/databases/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) through [Cognitive Services](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), and create your own machine learning models through [Azure Machine Learning designer](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/concept-designer?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). 10 | 11 | ### Activate your Azure account 12 | 13 | There's three different options available to create an account on Azure, depending on your current status as a student. 14 | 15 | - [Azure for Students](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) | $100 in Azure for 12 months with free tier of services - no credit card required with academic verification 16 | - [Azure for Students Starter](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students-starter-faq/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) | use select Azure products like App Services for free - no credit card required with academic verification 17 | 18 | ## Hack based workshops 19 | 20 | - [Hack based workshops](./workshops.md): Designed for the team who likes to self-explore, we have created a series of hack-based workshops to help you explore Azure. Each workshop will present a series of goals to accomplish, and help you gain experience using Azure for hackathons. 21 | 22 | ## Learn more 23 | 24 | This is only the start of the applications of Azure. Since Azure is a full-service cloud, it can grow as you and your projects grow.

Fortunately, the tools you need are free to download and install, and there are a host of great resources available to you. And you can still create a project during the hackathon! 4 | 5 | ## Learn to code 6 | 7 | There are dozens of programming languages available, and it's sometimes confusing to figure out where to start. Let's explore two very common entry points - Python and web development. 8 | 9 | > Keep in mind, you don't need to just pick one. As you continue to grow you'll eventually learn multiple programming languages and platforms. You might decide to play with Python this weekend, and try HTML and CSS in another weekend. Choose what sounds most interesting to you as your starting point. It's always more fun to learn when you're doing something which captures your imagination! 10 | 11 | ### Learning Python 12 | 13 | Python is the most popular programming language for new developers, and is commonly taught in college and university courses, as well as some high schools. Its syntax can feel approachable for a developer just starting out, and its flexibility means it can be used in a wide variety of scenarios. You can use Python for artificial intelligence or machine learning, building scripts to automate tasks, or creating mobile applications. 14 | 15 | While Python is a common first programming language for developers, by no means is its capabilities limited. One great advantage to learning Python early is it will grow with you as your skills progress. 16 | 17 | #### Getting started with Python 18 | 19 | If you're just starting out with Python, you can [take your first steps with Python](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/python-first-steps/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) on Microsoft Learn. This hands-on course will walk you through installing the required tools, to creating your first project, and adding logic and other functionality. We also have a [series of Python videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFCNu1-Xdsw&list=PLlrxD0HtieHhS8VzuMCfQD4uJ9yne1mE6) to help. 20 | 21 | #### Python in action 22 | 23 | Once you're familiar with Python, you can start using it to build projects and answer questions. You can [count the number of space rocks](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/introduction-python-space-exploration-nasa/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), and add [artificial intelligence to classify them](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/classify-space-rocks-artificial-intelligence-nasa/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). 24 | 25 | #### Python projects 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | #### Growing beyond Python basics 30 | 31 | As we highlighted earlier, Python is extremely flexible and can be used to build many types of applications. There are numerous services you can use with Python, including [adding artificial intelligence](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/explore-computer-vision-microsoft-azure/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) to projects. As you continue to grow you can [explore machine learning](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/create-machine-learn-models/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), including [deep learning using TensorFlow](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/tensorflow-fundamentals/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). Python also allows you to [create websites using a neat framework called Django](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/django-create-data-driven-websites/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). 32 | 33 | ### Web development 34 | 35 | Many new developers choose to start with web development because everyone has used the web, and it's always fun to learn how to build what we use. Additionally, you don't need to install any runtimes to get started. An editor like [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) is recommended and will make your life much easier, but it's not required. 36 | 37 | #### HTML and CSS 38 | 39 | At the core of any web project is HTML and CSS. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is used to describe information on a page - this is a title, this is a header, etc., while CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) is used to describe what it should look like - font choice and color, location, borders, etc. 40 | 41 | If you are attending a [TechTogether](https://techtogether.io/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) hackathon, you can attend the [HTML and CSS workshop](TODO: add link) which will walk you through creating your first webpage. You can also explore how to [create your first webpage](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/modules/build-simple-website/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) on Microsoft Learn. 42 | 43 | #### JavaScript 44 | 45 | Despite the name, JavaScript actually has nothing to do with Java. It is, however, the language you'll use to add functionality to webpages and create other types of applications. You can explore some of the [core concepts of JavaScript](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/web-development-101/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) to see how to get started. 46 | 47 | > JavaScript can be used for projects besides just creating webpages! JavaScript can also be used for mobile apps, services running in the cloud, and other applications. 48 | 49 | #### Web project ideas 50 | 51 | If you are looking to put your newly acquired web development skills to use for the hackathon, you can create webpages to share content. For example, you could create a webpage to display contact information and pictures of dogs for a local shelter, or information about where to get a COVID vaccine and find credible information about the virus. 52 | 53 | #### Growing beyond web dev basics 54 | 55 | As your webpages become more complex you may wish to use a framework, which is a set of code to help you perform different tasks. There are numerous web frameworks including [React](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/react/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) and [Vue.js](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/vue-first-steps/?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) to help bring your pages to the next level. 56 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /workshops.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Hack workshops 2 | 3 | Want to learn more about the cloud tools from Microsoft? Don't want to just walk through a series of steps in a prescriptive lab? We've created a series of hack-based workshops to help educate and inspire you! 4 | 5 | ![Cartoon racoons hacking together](./images/BIT_COWORKING.png) 6 | 7 | ## The structure 8 | 9 | Each hack-based workshop is built around a common hackathon scenario. You and your team will work together to achieve the goals put forth, learning by doing. After completing a workshop your team will have performed the actual activities you'll perform to bring your project onto the Microsoft Cloud, a set of assets you can continue to build upon, and ideas for using the scenario as a seed for your team's hack. 10 | 11 | You will notice the structure is a bit different from normal workshops. In particular, there are no step-by-step instructions provided. Instead the workshop is broken down into a series of goals for your team to complete. Each goal has well defined criteria for success, and a series of links to all the necessary resources for achieving the goal. We find this self-exploration model works really well to help absorb the information. The goals are designed to be progressive, with each building on the one before it. 12 | 13 | ## The hacks 14 | 15 | ### The Pet Shelter - web app 16 | 17 | [![GitHub repo for the workshop](https://img.shields.io/badge/Pet_shelter_workshop-0078D4?style=for-the-badge&logo=github)](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-web) 18 | 19 | [The Pet Shelter](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-web) is an organization to help rescue dogs find their forever homes. Your team has been asked to create them a website. To start they would like to provide a tool where a user could create a list of all the tasks they need to perform when they adopt a pet, like schedule their first vet appointment or apply for a dog license. Your team will do so by using [Azure Static Web Apps](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/static-web-apps/overview?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) for hosting and an already created app template. Your team will also add [Azure Cosmos DB](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cosmos-db/introduction?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa) to store the data. 20 | 21 | ![A screenshot of the web app showing 2 tasks](./images/pet-shelter.png) 22 | 23 | ### Mutt Matcher - IoT app 24 | 25 | [![GitHub repo for the workshop](https://img.shields.io/badge/The_Mutt_Matcher_IoT_workshop-0078D4?style=for-the-badge&logo=github)](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-iot) 26 | 27 | [The Mutt Matcher](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-iot) is an IoT device your team has been asked to build by an animal shelter to help identify different dog breeds. They have provided photos of a range of different dog breeds, and your task is to use these pictures to train an AI model that can be used from an IoT device, along with a dashboard to show the identified breed. 28 | 29 | Your team will work to train an AI model using [Azure Custom Vision](https://customvision.ai), then use it from an IoT device that is managed using [Azure IoT Central](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/iot-central?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa). 30 | 31 | > This workshop is designed to use a Raspberry Pi with a Raspberry Pi Camera Module, or a USB web cam. It can also be completed on your local computer using a built-in or external webcam if you don't have a Raspberry Pi. 32 | 33 | ![A picture of the IoT device consisting of a raspberry Pi and camera, and an IoT central dashboard showing a detected american staffordshire terrier](./images/hack-iot.png) 34 | 35 | ### Mutt Matcher - low code mobile app 36 | 37 | [![GitHub repo for the workshop](https://img.shields.io/badge/The_Mutt_Matcher_Low_Code_Mobile_App_workshop-0078D4?style=for-the-badge&logo=github)](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-power-apps) 38 | 39 | [The Mutt Matcher](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-power-apps) is a mobile app your team has been asked to build by an animal shelter to help identify different dog breeds. They have provided photos of a range of different dog breeds, and your task is to use these pictures to first train an AI model, then build a mobile app that uses this model to identify different breeds in photos taken using the mobile device. 40 | 41 | Your team will work to train an AI model using [Azure Custom Vision](https://customvision.ai), then use it from a mobile app built using [Microsoft Power Apps](https://powerapps.microsoft.com?WT.mc_id=academic-0000-cxa), a low code developer tool. 42 | 43 | ![A phone app detecting an American staffordshire terrier](./images/mutt-match-app-phone.png) 44 | 45 | ### Lobe - free and easy ML model training 46 | 47 | [![GitHub repo for the workshop](https://img.shields.io/badge/Lobe_workshop-0078D4?style=for-the-badge&logo=github)](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-lobe) 48 | 49 | [Lobe](https://github.com/microsoft/hack-workshop-lobe) is a free and easy tool for Intel-based Macs and Windows PCs you can use to train image classifier ML models locally, then export them to use in any application. In this workshop you will learn how to use lobe to classify images captured either from your camera, or uploaded to the Lobe app. Once you model is trained, you will test it, export it, then deploy it to a web site. 50 | 51 | > Lobe currently doesn't run on macOS devices that use Apple Silicon processors, such as the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max. 52 | 53 | ![A screenshot of Lobe](./images/lobe.png) 54 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
