Are you new to the tech world? Does "The Cloud" sound like a confusing mystery? Join the **AWS User Group Addis Ababa** for a session designed specifically for **absolute beginners**. We are stripping away the jargon and the complex code to show you how the cloud actually works using simple, real-world stories. **In this session, you will learn:** ✅ **AWS by Analogy:** Why an S3 bucket is like a storage room and a Lambda function is like a barista. ✅ **Meet Your AI Tutor:** Discover **Kiro**, an agentic IDE that lets you build on AWS using plain English. No coding experience? No problem. ✅ **The Architecture Map:** Learn how to "draw" your first app before you ever write a line of code. **Who should attend?** If you have never used AWS, or if you've tried and felt overwhelmed, this event is for you. We are building a community where everyone—from students to non-tech founders—can master the cloud. Come with questions, leave with your first architecture plan. See you there!

**Shut Up & Write Addis Ababa** is your distraction-free space to focus and create. No pressure, no critiques just write. Bring your ideas, laptop, or notebook. Sit down, tune out the noise, and let your words flow. In the heart of Addis Ababa—this is your time to create. 🎯 **RSVP here:** https://forms.gle/obcjw3w7sBz3SQ9h8
