You are the builders of tomorrow. Take part in this transformation by building your first Alexa skill using the Alexa Skills Kit. Voice user interfaces (VUI), such as Alexa, can transform life for college students. Alexa provides capabilities, or skills, that enable customers to create a more personalized experience. There are now tens of thousands of skills from companies like Starbucks, Uber, and Capital One as well as innovative designers and developers. From training the next voice designers and developers to reinventing life on campus or in the classroom, the possibilities with voice are endless. Whether you are an undergrad student, getting your PhD, living on, or off campus, Alexa can help you reimagine your world. For more information on creating an Alexa skill, and earning your Alexa Badge, check out the Alexa Skills Badge from AWS Educate.

Learn more about The AWS DeepRacer League: The AWS DeepRacer League is an important component of AWS DeepRacer. It is intended to foster communal learning and collaborative exploration through sharing and competitions. Learning with a group of like-minded developers can be rewarding because group members can share insights and learn from each other. Competitions can serve as powerful motivations for participants to inspire each other. AWS DeepRacer then ranks the performance for the users to discover the good, better, and best models of the group.
