• Global Teaching Assistant – Microsoft AI Community Learning Program (Beta)
• Microsoft | Feb 2025 – Mar 2025 | Remote (Global)
• As a selected Global Teaching Assistant from over 3,000+ global applicants, I had the opportunity to contribute to one of Microsoft’s most ambitious learning experiments—a 5-week immersive, fast-paced, and community-powered AI learning program focused on Responsible AI, co-creation, and human-centered innovation.
• This unique program blended structured learning with real-time building, mentoring, and global collaboration. My dual role as both a learner and a Teaching Assistant (TA) enabled me to support a global cohort across 70+ countries, while also pushing the boundaries of AI prototyping using Microsoft’s Copilot stack and modern no-code/low-code tools.
• Key Contributions & Highlights:
• 👨‍🏫 Mentored and supported 100+ global learners in breakout rooms, sync sessions, and hands-on builds
• 🧠 Co-created 20+ AI-powered prototypes—including storybook generators, trivia bots, research copilots, and accessibility tools
• 🏆 Consistently ranked among the top contributors on the leaderboard (Top 3 in Weeks 3 & 4)
• 🤝 Collaborated cross-culturally in a global hackathon, acting as both a participant and TA mentor
• 🧭 Honored with the “Clockwork Captain” award for operational excellence and driving team momentum
• 🥇 Awarded the Certificate of Distinction for execution, impact, and contribution to community learning
• This experience reinforced my belief that AI is not just a technical tool—it’s a social and collaborative frontier. The heart of this program wasn’t just about building with AI, but about building with intention, with people, and for good.
• 🌟 Key takeaways:
• Build fast. Learn together. Lead with care.
• Empower others to create, experiment, and grow.
• Drive impact through community-led innovation.
