A sandbox, ready to build
A pre-provisioned AWS sandbox with Claude Code set up inside it, so the build started in minutes, not an hour.
Engineers and technical founders got a ready-made AWS sandbox, two short talks on AgentCore in production and a long build block with AWS Solutions Architects at the table, then demos and prizes. A half-day camp with AWS Startups at the AWS Sydney office.

Patterns that hold up and where teams get stuck, plus what just shipped, from AWS.
One continuous build block on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, starting from the official AWS workshop.
Teams showed what they built; the winners took home screens and Amazon gift cards.

Why we ran it
Builders already working with LLMs wanted to get an agent into production, not into another notebook.
AWS Startups invited us to run it with them. The aim: every team leaves with a deployed agent on AgentCore and the code in its own repository, with AWS Solutions Architects at the table.
