Faculty and staff are invited to join the National Institute for Research and Digital Transformation (NIRDT) at a Campus Invent 8:15 a.m.-4:45 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27 at Woolsey Hall. During the event, participants will learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help transform teaching, learning and research at Wichita State.

The event will also explore and demystify applications and tools delivered through the AWS cloud computing platform in an interactive classroom setting through conversation and hands-on labs. This training will help participants gain a better understanding of digital transformation through exploring opportunities to leverage AWS services (available free to educators) and access to ongoing guidance through AWS office hours.
