Project Title: Cloud Computing Program(CCP) for Teens
Project Description:

CCP is a detailed 10-week training program aimed at equipping students aged 13-18 with the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 exam, a certification often more accessible to students from higher-income neighborhoods due to the resources available in their schools. Recognizing this disparity, the program is designed to democratize access to such valuable certifications, providing an inclusive opportunity for students to gain a solid foundation in cloud computing principles and Microsoft Azure’s core functionalities. Through a curriculum that spans from basic cloud concepts to in-depth exploration of Azure services, security, and management tools, the program combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. Activities including hands-on labs, workshops, and group projects are tailored to engage students actively, fostering an environment where learning is both effective and enjoyable.

By bridging the gap in certification opportunities, this initiative seeks not only to prepare students for the AZ-900 exam but also to instill a comprehensive understanding of cloud computing that can open doors to future educational and career prospects in technology. The program’s structure acknowledges the importance of practical experience in the tech field, incorporating exercises that simulate real-world scenarios and discussions on current trends in cloud computing. With the inclusion of practice exams and review sessions, the program ensures students are well-prepared for the certification exam, aiming to level the playing field and offer students from all backgrounds the chance to achieve a recognized credential in the rapidly growing field of cloud technology.
