Amazon Web Services Campus Invent
(September 27, 2022 | 8:15-4:45 | Woolsey Hall)
Join us to learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help transform teaching, learning,
and research at Wichita State. Together, we'll explore and demystify applications
and tools delivered through the AWS cloud computing platform in an interactive classroom
setting through conversation and hands-on labs. You’ll gain a better understanding of digital transformation through exploring opportunities
to leverage AWS services (available free to educators) and access to ongoing guidance
through AWS office hours.
AWS Campus Invent is a free, one-day educational event that brings the experience
of an AWS conference to Wichita State.
Spend the day with WSU peers and a team from AWS—comprised of higher education industry leaders and solutions architects—and learn about cloud computing while working backwards from your needs and priorities.
