Details

Kick Off Jax Tech Fest with Purpose: Working Backwards with AWS to Power Community Innovation through Give a Hack.

What if the best way to build the future is to start at the end, together?

Join us for a dynamic, hands-on Working Backwards session, facilitated by AWS, as the official kickoff event for Jax Tech Fest and the Give A Hack community hackathon. This is your chance to learn directly from the team at AWS, who are not only donating their time and expertise, but also proudly sponsoring Give A Hack, to teach a method that has powered products like Alexa, Prime, and Kindle.
But this time, we’re putting it to work for something even bigger: our community.

Why You Should Attend
Learn from AWS experts. This session is led by AWS team members who are bringing their time, tools, and talent to teach us the exact method Amazon uses to launch game-changing products.
Fuel real-world solutions. The ideas and artifacts created in this session, like press releases and FAQs, will directly inform and empower hackathon teams participating in Give A Hack, a citywide effort to build solutions that support nonprofits, individuals in need, and underserved communities.

What You’ll Do
Work Backwards, Amazon-style. Dive into customer-first thinking using AWS’s proven framework.
Shape the problem space. Help frame the challenge that will guide dozens of technologists during Give A Hack.
Collaborate with purpose. Partner with other passionate changemakers to set the foundation for real, scalable impact.

Who Should Join
This is for product thinkers, developers, designers, nonprofit leaders, strategists, and anyone who wants to use tech for good. Whether you're a seasoned innovator or simply passionate about helping others, your perspective is valuable and needed.

Come for the method. Stay for the mission. Leave knowing you are helping launch something that could change lives.

Spots are limited. RSVP now to reserve your seat in this high-impact workshop.

BIG THANK YOU to our sponsors, Forcura and Interactive Resources, for helping make this event possible!
