Day 1 - Q&A with Satya Nadella

There was so much going on throughout Day One of Build, but for me the best bit was the Q&A with Satya Nadella!!

My sister and I are here as students at Build, 2 out of only 100.  Plus, I am the youngest at 13 - most of them seem to be university students (like Caitlin).  And lots of them are Microsoft Student Partners (again, like Caitlin!).

At teatime on Day One, there was a special Q&A session for the students with Satya Nadella and Guggs.  It was really cool, a small room, and we got to ask Satya questions.  There was a lot about stuff for students worldwide, and software for universities, plus who did Satya prefer - Gandalf or Dumbledore!*

I was so excited when I got to ask Satya my question about programming in schools for children, as I'm 13, the issues at school level are different than older students.  He told me about his daughter, who is 13 too, and the kinds of things Microsoft are doing to help schools and encourage children like me.  It was awesome!

Plus there was a massive group selfie of Satya with all the students - Caitlin and I are in this picture but right on the edge at the left, and it was tweeted out by Guggs!  So cool :D Can you spot Satya?
