The event

What a Student Community Day is

The first Student Community Day in Bolivia: a free, student-led day backed by AWS in Cochabamba.

Instead of a single room with one talk after another, the day is built as several experiences running at once. From early in the morning, great talks, workshops and virtual sessions run in parallel, and you choose where to be.

1010+ people have registered. Free buses will also be available to get to the event.

You can follow one track from start to finish, jump between rooms by topic, or spend the morning in a lab building something. There is no right path.

Organized by

The AWS Student Builder Groups of UCB (LP), UMSA, UMSS, UPB (CBBA & LP), UAJMS (TJ) and Univalle (SCR), together in one event.
