What is an AWS GameDay?
An AWS GameDay is a gamified learning event where participants are challenged to use AWS solutions to solve real-world technical problems as a team. Unlike traditional workshops, GameDays are open-ended and non-prescriptive, giving participants the freedom to explore and think outside the box.
A custom set of challenges makes this GameDay one of a kind.
Get hands-on with AI, security and cloud-native challenges — no slides, no tutorials.
