AWS Classroom Training with AWS Jam

AWS Jam is an effective way for developers, architects, and DevOps engineers to learn by doing. Challenges can be selected by difficulty level and clues are available to help navigate the challenges if needed. Authorized AWS Instructors act as facilitators and help connect the challenges to the course materials, but participants must solve the problems on their own.

AWS Jam is a scenario-based, team-centered event where participants gain practical experience with a wide range of AWS services. AWS Jam scenarios relate to use cases, domains, and services covered in the classroom training course.

The event is gamified with teams competing against each other by scoring points for completing specific challenges. Challenges have varying degrees of difficulty and are therefore worth differing amounts of points. A live leaderboard provides updates on scores and progress throughout the event. Clues and guidance can be provided to help teams move through challenges, but cost points.
