Welcome to the AWS CloudRoom School Hub!
For Teachers and Facilitators
AWS CloudRoom is a series of sequential workshops introducing teachers and students to cloud technologies, specifically looking at how they can positively impact our world and daily activities. We achieve this through topical storytelling encouraging students to learn through discovery.
In the AWS CloudRoom School Hub, we provide you, as the teacher or facilitator, everything that you will need to run AWS CloudRoom workshops in your school.
Teacher's Handbook
To help you in the run up to your workshops, we have created a set of guides, which take you through each step of the AWS CloudRoom workshop, an explanation of what is involved and an introduction to the cloud.
The Episodes
The program is built out in episodes that follow consecutive workshop themes, each covering different topics that focus around data centres and the technology we use within them. Although the episodes are sequential, they have also been designed to be run individually where required.
Discover the list of episodes available for you to choose for your AWS CloudRoom workshop.
We have included everything you need to run your AWS CloudRoom workshop within our episode pages - simply click on the episode you would like to run, and you will find tutorials, activity resources and the full plug 'n' play workshop resource that you can use on the day of your AWS CloudRoom workshop.



What is AWS CloudRoom and what does it offer my school?

How will the workshops be structured?
Learning through story - the AWS CloudRoom animated episode, featuring our very own heroes: “Chief”, “Builder’, “Analyst” and “Coder”.
Learning through discovery - completing a specially designed practical cloud-based activity.
Learning from experience - 'My journey to here' story. This is led by the AWS volunteer.
Teachers don’t need to be cloud experts to get involved. Each workshop will include “teacher-notes” for the class, additional materials that support the workshop topic as well as general guidance and options for running the workshops. As a result, teachers have access to the complete workshop step-by-step guide or, making the workshops easy to follow and run.
Following on from AWS CloudRoom, teachers will be invited to participate in our AWS CloudRoom evaluation study. The purpose of the evaluation is to identify any improvements or enhancements we can include in future AWS CloudRoom episodes.

Each AWS CloudRoom workshop offers the possibility to welcome an in-person cloud career story, hosted by an AWS CloudRoom volunteer. The AWS volunteer aim is to inspire students by giving personal insight into careers within cloud industries and to demonstrate that tech is open to everyone, regardless of background and skills.
Is there any preparation required in advance?
AWS CloudRoom materials and resources are free, they will be available online and for download all year round, where they can be used for school presentations and other classroom-based activities. Teachers may make multiple copies to suit their own school’s needs.
What equipment is required to facilitate the presentations?
How will we find your volunteers?
If your match is successful, we will then connect you with the volunteer to arrange a precise time for your workshop(s).
How do I share my school’s availability?
How many classes can I request to join AWS CloudRoom?
What is the matching process?
Once you are successfully matched you will receive an individual email for each of your matched volunteers that will be running workshop(s) with your school. This will detail their contact information and the day that they are available to come into your school, to support one, or two workshops, depending upon your request. Please note that volunteers can run up to two workshops, so if you have requested multiple classes to take place, your school may receive up to two volunteer matches confirmations.
Then, the volunteer will reach out to you to arrange the exact time of your workshop(s) taking place. The onus is on the school to connect with your volunteer(s) to confirm the time for each session that fits within your work schedule and their school timetable.
