HELLO, BUILDERS.
AWS SBG PPSU / EST. BY STUDENTSIt’s not just
a day.
It’s a spark.
Some of the best things on campus
start with “what if?”
AWS SBG PPSU was founded in November 2025. Around 600 students showed up to the launch — the most attended student event in PPSU’s history. Today, we’re 1000+ members. This day is what happens when that many curious people keep showing up.
Now we’re making space for the next idea. One day to get your hands around cloud, ask better questions, and meet the people you’ll build with next.
See you on campus.— THE AWS SBG PPSU CREW

REAL PEOPLE.students at the launch
REAL MOMENTUM.
ON OUR CAMPUS.
IN OUR OWN WAY.
IN OUR OWN WAY.
The student edition at PPSU.
MAKE A DAY OF IT
Less “someday.”
More “let’s try it.”
You can save another tutorial any time.
This is for what happens when you show up.
02 /
Ask the ‘basic’ question.
Talk to people working with the tools. Ask why a deployment failed, what a service costs, or where to start.
ASK IT. SOMEONE ELSE IS THINKING IT.03 /
Find your next collaborator.
Meet the person who knows the part you don’t. A campus full of builders beats another saved tutorial.
