PROGRAMME OVERVIEW:

This role will lead the growth and establishment of the school programme of Amazon Web Services (AWS) GetIT in Germany, with support for the wider programme in the UK and Ireland.

The objective of the programme is to inspire more young people and especially girls to get into IT and gain digital skills. 17% of the current tech industry is women. With AWS, we are building a movement to change this.

The aims are for the participants to build practical digital skills and relevant work experience, learn more about technology as a possible career option from industry experts, and feel empowered to break down gender stereotypes and consider a career in IT and app making.

During the programme teams of students (minimum 50% girls) develop an app idea that solves or tackles a problem in their local school/community.

Format of the Programme

All schools receive an inspiring assembly about the world of technology, organised by Future Foundations, and delivered by AWS Ambassadors, either from AWS or from one of their partners such as Just Eat. 

The schools then receive support and tools to be able to run the programme in their school – some schools will run it with their entire Year 8, or some run it as an after-school club.

All schools are invited to a GetIT Bootcamp at an Amazon Office – where student have sessions with AWS tech team on how to create and develop their App idea.

Schools get another support visit from their AWS Ambassador before submitting their final project ideas to the competition in March.

The finalists are invited to attend the AWS Summit(s) in their country, to present in front of a panel of leading people in AWS and the tech industry.

Programme expansion

We are very excited that the AWS GetIT programme will be expanding for 2020/2021.  In 2018/2019, the programme ran in just London.  In 2019/2020 the programme ran in three locations in the UK (London, Manchester and Cambridge); three Bootcamps in London, one in Manchester and one in Cambridge for the 2019/2020 programme:

• 72 schools at bootcamps attended by 545 students
• 95 school assemblies reaching 16,000+ students

In 2020/21 the programme will be delivered in Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Cambridge and Berlin.
