Beyond the Cloud: AWS in Aerospace and Space Tech

Join the Boston College AWS Cloud Club for a special multi-session event featuring Lucas Swanson, an AWS Developer Advocate with hands-on experience applying cloud technology in the aerospace industry.
Whether you're into cloud computing, aerospace engineering, or just curious about how satellites and software intersect, this event has something for you.

Sessions:
Satellite WiFi: How Amazon Leo Augments AWS (Technical Talk)
A deep dive into traffic management across satellite constellations, the services and industries that benefit from satellite WiFi, and AWS projects you can build to develop relevant skills for companies like Amazon Leo.

Geospatial Agents with Strands SDK (Workshop)
An intermediate-to-advanced, software-focused workshop exploring geospatial data, what it is, how it's used, and how to build intelligent agents around it. Applications span national defense, environmental science, supply chain, sociology, and more.

Web App Tracking the Amazon Leo Constellation (Live Demo)
A live build of a satellite-tracking web app using Kiro and third-party data. Students can follow along and will receive a repo and written walkthrough to build their own tracker afterward.

Q&A: Careers in Aerospace and Cloud (Career Panel)
An open Q&A on breaking into the aerospace industry and how cloud skills translate to hardware-focused environments. Additional Boston-area engineers may join.
Open to all majors and experience levels.
