student product design

The student product design tag covers projects where students apply design thinking and Microsoft tools to solve real-world problems. A featured example is a Loughborough University team that built Lighthouse, an Azure AI-powered careers platform during a Microsoft hackathon. The platform helps students map strengths and skills gaps for early career planning. This tag highlights how Microsoft’s AI tools are used as practical design constraints in student projects, focusing on problem-solving rather than just technology adoption. Recurring themes include hackathon competitions, Azure AI integration, and career-oriented solutions designed by students for students.
