Microsoft’s programme Dream Spark
Technology is developing and so the world is, and at these times Microsoft Chairman Mr. Bill Gates gets the feeling that students are not getting in touch with the innovative world, so he launched a new programme called “Dream Spark”.
The target people who will be gaining much the programme are the school and college students all across the world. Currently there are 11 countries that are focussed by Mr. Gates which are – United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Spain and China.
Thing to note is that you can get the things there if you are a student, if not then you are not eligible for the programme.
How do i get it? You just need to have a Windows Live ID, get yourself approved as a student and then you can download all the products for free from which you can learn many technological advancements, and it also includes a design program called “Expression Studio”.
This programme will also tend to enable Microsoft to take on open source software programmes that are popular in schools.
Are you a student? Learn more about the innovative trends through Microsoft!
Update: On 5th Nov 2008, Bill Gates announced Microsoft Dreamspark in India.
