How we will learn
A rhythm designed to make learning stick.
Each topic moves from explanation to exploration and reflection, so you can connect new ideas directly to your own work.
Learn by doing
Work through focused Microsoft Learn modules and practise techniques in your own development environment.
Reflect and progress
Return to the group to share discoveries, resolve questions, and make sure everyone is ready for the next step.
Day 01 · Build your foundations
Understand the possibilities.
Master the essentials.
Begin with responsible AI, explore the Copilot experience, and learn how better prompts and shared context lead to better outcomes.
