Join us for an official AI-focused AWS GameDay experience at Downtown UCF!

🎮 What is AWS GameDay?
Think hackathon meets workshop. It's a hands-on, interactive, team-based experience where you solve real-world cloud challenges in a live AWS environment. You earn points, and the top 3 teams will win prizes courtesy of AWS, HashiCorp, and New Relic.

You and your team (2–4 people) will:

• Deploy and troubleshoot live AWS workloads
• Solve architecture and operational challenges
• Earn points on a real-time leaderboard
• Compete in a friendly but intense cloud showdown

This is a beginner-friendly event - even if you have never seen the AWS Console before, you have the chance to win. Strategy and problem-solving skills can trump AWS experience.

Who’s Involved?
AWS and industry partners HashiCorp and New Relic power this GameDay. The official AWS GameDay team will stand up and manage the entire environment, provision accounts, and guide the experience. Additionally, we’ll have local AWS employees supporting throughout the night.

What to Expect

• 2–3 hours of immersive, competitive cloud challenges
• Real AWS infrastructure (no simulations)
• Food & refreshments

Whether you're:

• A student exploring cloud,
• A developer looking to sharpen your skills,
• A DevOps engineer who thrives under pressure,
• Or a solutions architect ready to prove it...

This is your arena.

💻 What You Need
Just bring your charged laptop.
We’ll handle the rest.
Teams can come pre-formed, or we’ll help match you up.
