Small, hands-on demos exploring what is possible with AI and developer tools.

Learn Live: Integrate custom tools into your agent

Microsoft Reactor

A live walkthrough of giving an agent custom tools with Microsoft Foundry and Azure AI Agent Service, so it can call out to real services instead of guessing.

Building an AI agent with Prompty and Microsoft Foundry

Microsoft Reactor

Building an agent that triages and tags GitHub issues, using Prompty for structured prompt engineering and Microsoft Foundry to run it.

Azure AI Fundamentals, 2025 edition

Microsoft Reactor, AI-900 series

A full series covering the Azure AI fundamentals, from what the services actually do through to sitting the AI-900 exam.

Biashara Agent Workshop

Safaricom Decode

Build a bilingual English and Swahili AI agent for a Nairobi restaurant using the Microsoft Foundry Toolkit in VS Code. Covers agent setup, system prompts, MCP tools for grounded answers, evaluation, a Flask chat interface, and exporting to production code with Microsoft Agent Framework.

Foundry Toolkit and Hosted Agents Workshop

Microsoft Foundry

Build, test, and deploy single-agent and multi-agent Hosted Agents to Microsoft Foundry from VS Code, using the Foundry Toolkit and Microsoft Agent Framework in Python.

LAB521: Improving Agent Behavior Using Reinforcement Learning from Traces

Microsoft Build 2026

Agents often work, but prompts alone make their behaviour hard to control. This lab starts with a working agent, inspects its execution traces, defines good behaviour using evaluation graders, and applies reinforcement fine-tuning to reinforce better decisions without redesigning the agent.

BRK441: Build and Launch AI Agents Fast with Foundry Toolkit for VS Code

Microsoft AI Tour

Prototype with open models in the Foundry Toolkit Playground, iterate on prompts in Agent Builder, evaluate against a test dataset, then take the same work from prototype to a deployed, monitored agent.

BRK443: Efficient Model Customization with Microsoft Foundry

Microsoft AI Tour

When does fine-tuning actually make sense? This session walks through the customization options in Microsoft Foundry, then gets hands-on with synthetic data generation, distillation for cutting cost, and SFT for shaping tone.

PREL13: Observe, Manage and Scale Agentic AI Apps with Microsoft Foundry

Microsoft Ignite 2025

An end-to-end lab on taking an agentic app past the demo stage: instrumenting it, watching what it actually does in production, and scaling it with Microsoft Foundry.

Analyzing Snapshot Serengeti data with Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Open Awesome Workshops

A self-paced workshop using camera trap data from the Serengeti: load it into a Lakehouse, query the SQL endpoint, visualize in Power BI, then transform and analyze the images with Apache Spark in Fabric.

Generative AI for Beginners

Microsoft

A course of lessons teaching everything you need to start building generative AI applications.

Read the RAG and vector databases lesson

Using GitHub Copilot with Python

Microsoft Learn

A module on pairing with Copilot in Python: writing prompts that work, reviewing what it suggests, and knowing when to push back.

AI for Beginners

Microsoft

A 12-week curriculum covering the foundations of AI, from symbolic approaches through neural networks, computer vision, and natural language processing.

Prompty documentation

prompty.ai

Documentation for Prompty, an asset class and format for structuring LLM prompts so they are observable, understandable, and portable across tools.

Alliance Girls High School Software Engineering Program

with TOFA and Alliance Girls Alumni

A project-based software engineering program for Grade 10 students. Term 2 covers foundations, careers and resources; Term 3 is a group project sprint ending in a showcase. Includes a facilitator guide, icebreakers, demos, and beginner career-path guides.

30 Days of Data Science

Microsoft 30DaysOf

A month-long roadmap of data science learning resources, samples, and curricula, structured so you can follow it a day at a time.

Manipulating and Cleaning Data

Microsoft Reactor Tel Aviv

Real-world data is messy. A beginner-friendly session on missing and duplicate data, joining and merging datasets, and exploring your data visually and statistically before you model anything.

Is it a bug or a feature? Using Prompty to automatically track and tag issues

Microsoft Developer Community

Triaging issues is the kind of chore that quietly eats a maintainer's week. This walks through building a Prompty agent that reads an issue and tags it for you.

Automating PowerPoint generation with AI

A Learn Live series case study

What it took to automate slide generation for a Learn Live series, and where the automation earned its keep.
