Tired of just learning theory? It's time to build like a professional. Welcome to our first major technical workshop under the new **AWS Student Builder Group** identity! This is NOT a theoretical course or a vague introduction to the cloud. This is a complete immersion into a real-world enterprise workflow. In this hands-on workshop, we will bridge the gap between local development and cloud production. You will learn how to design a clean backend API, understand modern serverless architecture, and deploy it live on AWS. **🔥 What you will learn:** * **Part 1: Backend Engineering:** Move from "just coding" to true software design. Learn REST API architecture, clean code practices, error handling, and tools like Git and Postman. * **Part 2: AWS Cloud Fundamentals:** Understand why companies are moving to Serverless. We will break down key services: AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB/RDS, and IAM security. * **Part 3: The "Build" Phase:** Pure hands-on practice. Create your Lambda function, connect it to API Gateway, and deploy a serverless API that is accessible via a public URL. * **Part 4: Production & Integration:** Adopt the professional mindset. Learn how to test your API in production, manage logs with CloudWatch, and understand basic security tokens. **🎯 Expected Outcome:** You won't just leave with notes. Every participant will leave with a functional API deployed online, along with the professional tricks and standards used by modern cloud engineers. **⚠️ Prerequisites:** 1. Bring your laptop. 2. **CRITICAL:** You must create a free AWS account *before* attending the event to save time. 3. Basic knowledge of programming (any language) will be helpful. We will provide a starter project so no one gets left behind! Let's build. Innovate. Solve. Impact. *We are solution providers!*

We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.

**Weather permitting**, we’ll take a casual ride from Pickerington Ponds (Glacier Knoll) to Three Creeks and back. Distance is **18–25 miles**, depending on where we turn around and whether we add a side loop. Pace is around **12 mph**, but this is a fun, no‑drop ride — we can slow down as needed.
