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.

🎯 Who is this for?
The event is open to anyone with a general knowledge of AWS — no expert level required!

🧩 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.
