Microsoft Reactor

This workshop introduces you to the world of machine learning. You'll take a real-life problem that NASA faces and apply machine learning to solve it. The goal is to discover how machine learning could help solve other problems in space discovery and different aspects of life. This workshop begins with an introduction to rocket launches, and then moves on to learn how to import and clean data for use in creating machine learning models.

Who is this workshop aimed at?

• Upskilling professionals and students interested in building core, high-demand technical skills.
• Teachers, CS faculty, STEM volunteers, and Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors whom would like to share or teach this workshop on-campus and online.
