AWS Student Community Day Bolivia 2026

Overview

AWS Student Community Day Bolivia 2026 is a free one day event designed for university students in Bolivia. The day is hosted at Universidad Privada Boliviana (UPB) in Cochabamba and focuses on hands-on learning across four tracks. The event aims to bring together students, builders, and emerging tech communities to explore cloud computing, DevOps practices, AI with AWS, and security fundamentals in a practical, classroom-to-cloud format. Attendance is free for students, with registration and wristbands managed on site, and opportunities for networking with industry speakers and potential AWS educational credits.

Agenda

The day comprises four tracks, each offering practical, beginner-friendly to intermediate content, with no required prerequisites. Tracks include:

• Cloud Fundamentals: foundational AWS services such as EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, and Lambda, guiding attendees from zero to a first deployment.
• DevOps & Automation: topics cover CI/CD, infrastructure as code with CDK and Terraform, and observability with CloudWatch.
• AI + AWS: sessions on building AI-enabled applications using Bedrock, agents, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) with AWS tools, including hands-on exercises.
• Security: sessions on threat modeling, advanced IAM, KMS, and GuardDuty, including real-world use cases. The agenda also highlights a mix of keynote talks, hands-on labs, and a final consolidation activity to wrap the day.

Format

The event is an offline, in-person conference format designed for active participation. Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop with a charged battery. Each track is designed to start from introductory material and progress to practical deployments, with labs and workshops integrated into the schedule. A hands-on workshop style is emphasized, with labs and real-world exercises guided by mentors and speakers. The day includes time for meals and networking, plus opportunities to obtain AWS educational credits for active participants.
