My experience with skills celebration
I dug in some classes. When you register, you will find a long list of classes and training. I saw three of them. I started together Minecraft Education – AI Adventures Because my friends say that I have 12 years of maturity. It was a small range of videos. They were all attractive and very well suited for children. If you have a child and you want to explain to AI, it is a great place to start.
Was next Construction application with Github Copilot Agent ModeIt is a 45 -minute YouTube video that takes you through a full stack development process of creating a fitness tracker app using the new agent mode of Github Copilot.
Also: I tested 10 AI content detectors – and these 5 recognized the AI ​​text correctly every time.
Microsoft Presenter, Chris Norning showed agent mode and created the app using the VS code in Github Codespaces. I really liked how he just went through more than the AI ​​process and integrated it with react, django and a mongodb database. Very informative, all in about 45 minutes.
The third grade I took was Aye for organizational leadersManufactured by LinkedIn Learning. You cannot reach it until you eat your linkedIn account or skills through celebrations.
It is a quick 57 -minute orbit on the details of AI technology, commercial implications of generic AI, where AI fits into your business strategy, and AI is a very important section on the loss, concerns and boundaries of technology. Each of the five main chapters is punctured by a small quiz, and the 10-test is the final test. The result is a good certificate, suitable for framing. I did not pay any fee to get the certificate, which is also quiet.
An interesting note is that many of the classes and training listed in the skill festival are not gounded, so you can do them even after the skill celebrations are over. For example, the minecraft chain, is available by someone with links, as is Github YouTube video.
