What is AWS Educate?
During this unprecedented time of temporary and sustained school closings, AWS has developed a set of resources to help you and your teams:
- If you’re an educator, you can sign up for webinars on topics such as “creating an online class for beginners” and “advanced topics in online learning” to aid your transition to remote learning. If you want to offer your students online learning modules on cloud computing, virtual cloud labs to your faculty, or get AWS Promotional Credit to build on AWS, join AWS Educate at no cost to access these resources.
- If you’re a student, you can benefit from no-cost, at-home learning opportunities through AWS Educate Cloud Career Pathways and specialty badges, and online workshops and webinars to help you continue to build cloud skills.
- If you’re an institution looking for more information on how AWS is aiding efforts on working and learning from home, visit the AWS blog or the AWS Remote Work and Learning page for details on no-cost use of tools such as Amazon Chime, Amazon Connect, and Amazon WorkSpaces to further help during this time. You may also live chat with an AWS representative about resources for schools facing remote learning and working challenges.
