Code against the odds, race against time and step inside a top-secret mission briefing as you dabble with experimental technologies such as IoT, Cognitive Services, and Power BI Embedded to help unravel a mystery of interplanetary proportions. Please join us from 10:00 am – 2:30 pm on Sunday December 4th for an interactive workshop where you’ll learn to connect and configure a device to IoT Hub services, connect and submit an image to Cognitive Services, and use Power BI Embedded to display a report in a web app.
