Applied Learning Project: Throughout the program, learners will engage in interactive exercises that provide opportunities to apply what they have learned in a practical setting. This is facilitated through the Microsoft Learn Sandbox, a free environment where participants can get hands-on experience with natural Microsoft Azure resources and services in a controlled setting. For instance, when lessons involve integrating, transforming, and consolidating data, learners will operate within the Sandbox or directly in the Azure Portal, allowing for real-time application of concepts at a manageable pace. A Microsoft account is required to access this learning environment, which can be created for free if needed. The Learn Sandbox offers a risk-free way to explore and manage Azure resources with no financial commitment or risk of disrupting actual production environments.
