How to take part in the Amazon Campus Challenge.

Depending on your preference and the Challenge’s compatibility with your institution's educational programmes, you can pass this opportunity directly onto your students or integrate it into your curriculum. We strongly recommend the second option, which offers a perfect balance between lessons taught in class and preparation for your future graduates’ professional career.
