Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors never stop learning and pushing themselves to reach the next step.
What do they hope to achieve while they’re in the program? What skills have they already learned, and what’s next as they chart their course? What keeps them going through long study sessions and coding sprints? They’re here to tell you.
“While you’re in the Learn Student Ambassador program, how do you plan to make a positive difference? What have you been working on already?”
Whether they’re working with their Leagues on big group projects, planning events, or making their impact more generally, this group of Student Ambassadors is passionate about making a difference in their communities.
“I will try to bring about a positive change by organizing events and forwarding and imparting my knowledge to others. I will try new Microsoft Learn paths so that I can enhance my knowledge. I am also starting to plan my first event for the beta milestone with a co-Ambassador.”
Eva Thakran, final-year student at Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies
“I have organized events and represented Student Ambassadors (as mentor and judge) in Major League Hacking. I am planning to organize more events, reach out to more people, and learn.”
Sushant Gaurav, second-year student at the Lakshmi Narain College of Technology Bhopal
I have done many technical and non-technical events and organized a global AI gaming tournament with my team, and I’m currently running an initiative named Voice of Code (started in April 2020), which is a global technical blogging community that focuses on the importance of content creation and organizes global contests and events.”
Nancy, fourth-year student at KIET Group of Institutions
“The Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program provides you with ample opportunities to upskill yourself and make an impact in the community. Being a part of this program has given me a platform to make an impact in the lives of other students. I am continuously seeking to expand my knowledge with Microsoft technologies and become an expert with them. My future footprints as a Student Ambassador are to upskill the students with these technologies and provide them with learning resources so that every student grows and achieves more in their career.”
Rohit Yadav, third-year student at IMS UC Campus, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh
“While I am part of the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador program, I plan to make a positive difference by helping others find their place in tech. My motto is ‘Don't Fear the Code,’ so I like to demystify tech through workshops—like Intro to Python and GitHub—to give people a strong start in their tech journey. What I am working on now is a series of events called ‘Microsoft Learn Parties,’ where I help participants go through my favorite Microsoft Learn modules as a community of avid learners.”
Darren Butler, third-year student at Philander Smith College
“The way I work is through events. I am currently organizing, together with my work team, a diploma based on the IC3 Certification that is focused on the student public. This will allow them to have a good base of the topics they should know in order to continue with their certifications, but already in more advanced topics.”
Leydi Rosmery Aylas Curi, tenth-round student at Universidad Peruana de las Américas
“What skills did you learn in school that have become important to you now? What do you want to learn next?”
One of the great things about the Student Ambassador program is that it helps participants bridge the gap between their formal education and the things they’re capable of as mentors and professionals. And with a group this passionate about technology, there’s always something new to learn. Here’s what they brought to the program and what they plan to dive into next.
“My school taught me discipline, time management, and leadership. I have anchored some school-level events, which helped me to develop public speaking skills and overcome stage fright.”
Sushant Gaurav, second-year student at the Lakshmi Narain College of Technology Bhopal, studying Computer Science (B.Tech)
“The skills that I got a good opportunity to showcase and practice now are leadership, teamwork, problem solving, communication skills, and many more. I have been working in cloud, web, and application development domains. I want to learn and explore more about Microsoft Power Platform. The whole idea of Power Apps is something that is really fascinating and interesting to explore.”
Nancy, fourth-year student at KIET Group of Institutions
“During my schooling, I have learned numerous skills which have become important to me now. I learned the basics of programming in languages like C and Java, and I learned numerous skills like managing my school’s Azure Active Directory and building Power Apps, which have helped me a lot now. In my next steps, I want to explore cloud-powered technologies like serverless computing, containers, and orchestration and deploy them on Microsoft Azure. I am exploring AI and am working towards deploying my code on Azure. In that step, I want to explore different cognitive services and use them in my projects.”
Rohit Yadav, third-year student at IMS UC Campus, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh
“The skill that I have learned in school that has become most important to me is working with data structures, algorithms, and problem solving. Next, I want to learn how to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions to mobile apps to create useful or entertaining apps.”
Darren Butler, third-year student at Philander Smith College
“I have learned several things in school, but the one that has always helped me to be encouraged, to learn, and to perform is teamwork. Every time, while we do a task, it has given me a new viewpoint and has given me multiple possibilities to learn and grow my skills. Every time, the next thing I want to learn is from my mistakes. I look for the ways through which I can avoid past mistakes and can give better results each time.”
Aditi Tewari, third-year student at the Birla Institute of Applied Sciences, Bhimtal
“What’s your favorite snack to eat or music to listen to while you study?”
It’s not all a grind, but when these Student Ambassadors hunker down to get some work done, most of them have go-to treats and tunes to help them stay focused. Of course, for some of them music is distracting, so they prefer to keep it off. It’s important to find what works for you and embrace it.
“I love eating chocolates and Lays chips in between my studies. Singing is my hobby, so I listen to music and sing a lot. Music makes me smile every time. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:”
Sushant Gaurav, second-year student at the Lakshmi Narain College of Technology Bhopal, studying Computer Science (B.Tech)
“Music has always been among the most important parts of my life. I prefer to listen to soft, soothing kinds of music that help keep the mind calm. Occasionally some rock music works as well. Considering the fact that I am quite a foodie and always need something to eat, any spicy snacks would work.”
Nancy, fourth-year student at KIET Group of Institutions
“My favorite music to listen to while I study is lo-fi music. Occasionally, during intensive coding sessions, rap and pop helps as well.”
Rohit Yadav, third-year student at IMS UC Campus, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh
“Actually, I am a very easily distracted person, so when I study, I prefer not to listen to music. As for food, with good alfajores (a sandwich cookie), I’m able to study happily.”
Leydi Rosmery Aylas Curi, tenth-round student at Universidad Peruana de las Américas
“I like listening to house music when I study, but most of the time it makes me sleepy, so I compromise and listen to rap.”
Ilias Eleta, fourth-year student at the University of Macedonia
“My favorite snack to eat between studying topics is a cookie. I just love to eat chocolate or chocolate cookies and I also listen to music in between, such as my favorite artist, Maluma (Colombian artist), and to walk around.”
Eva Thakran, final-year student at Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies, studying Computer Science (B.Tech)
“I’m from the Bahamas and I love jazzy sounds, so my favorite snack and music to enjoy while studying are plantain chips and lo-fi hip hop.”
Darren Butler, third-year student at Philander Smith College
