Microsoft Garage focuses on supporting employees, who were then invited to demo their projects to executives from the Microsoft Office group.
The first Garage event was the "Garage Office Science Fair" where all employees, regardless of department, were invited to demo their projects to executives from the Microsoft Office group in Building 36. The Garage focused on supporting employees who were already building their projects and were willing to build it themselves vs. seeking funding. The Microsoft Garage is a Microsoft program that encourages employees to work on projects that they are passionate about, even if they have no relation to their primary function within the company.
