Builders' Playground

The AWS Student Builder Group is setting up a stall at Atria Community Day 3 — our biggest showcase yet. This isn't a lecture. This isn't a webinar. This is a hands-on, interactive stall where you explore real projects built by students, play custom-built games, climb leaderboards, and walk away with goodies. We've built everything from scratch. No templates, no paid platforms, no shortcuts. Come see what student builders can do. What's On Show Flagship Projects Remote Geographical Agri Sensing Platform: Our main project. A full-stack platform that brings agricultural intelligence to remote, underserved regions. Access satellite land data, analyze weather patterns, locate optimal borewell points using historical data and AI, and monitor crop health through NDVI indices — all from a single interface. Built for impact. 3D Visualization — UPI on AWS: What if India's Unified Payments Interface were built entirely on AWS? We've created an interactive, animated 3D model that lets you orbit, zoom, and click through the entire architecture — API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, CloudFront, and more. Watch real-time payment data flows animate through the system. If you've ever wanted to understand how UPI actually works under the hood, this is it. Projects + Games (Custom-Built) AI Pictionary Not your average Pictionary. Here, the AI draws and you guess. Watch sketches materialize stroke by stroke in real-time and race to guess the word before the drawing completes. The faster you are, the more points you earn. Custom Kahoot We looked at Kahoot and thought — we can do better. So we built our own quiz platform from scratch. Lower latency, better concurrency, richer media support, and no paywalls. And yes, we've open-sourced it. It's yours to take. Breach & Defend Think Among Us, but technical. Players are split into Hackers and Defenders. Hackers inject broken code, malformed APIs, and security vulnerabilities into shared files. Defenders must diagnose and fix them in real-time before the system crashes. Debug production code while suspects walk among you. Games (Playable + Rewardable) These games are fully playable at the event and each one has a live leaderboard that refreshes every hour. Top performers win goodies. 1. Custom Kahoot — Quiz rounds with speed and accuracy scoring. Streak bonuses multiply your points. 2. AI Pictionary — Guess AI-generated sketches. Earn more the faster you guess. 3. Wumpus — 3D Edition — The classic "Hunt the Wumpus" AI problem, fully 3D visualized. Navigate the cave, sense dangers, and slay the Wumpus. Fewer moves = higher rank. 4. Typing Test — MonkeyType-powered speed typing with a live community leaderboard. Top Words Per Minute wins. 5. AR Disc Shooter — This one's special. Using real-time hand tracking, your hand becomes a controller. Shape it like a gun, point your index finger at discs that appear on screen, and flick your thumb down to shoot. Break as many discs as you can within the time limit. Highest score wins. How the Leaderboard & Rewards Work Every playable game runs on an hourly leaderboard cycle: Each game has its own independent leaderboard Leaderboards refresh every hour — every round, everyone starts from zero At each hourly freeze, winners are announced and goodies are given out on the spot If a game has many participants in a round → top 3 win If a game has few participants in a round → top 1 wins You can play multiple games, but new attempts are not allowed You can win across different games Show up, play hard, climb the board before each hourly freeze, and claim your reward. Who Should Come Students interested in cloud, AI, web dev, or game dev Anyone who wants to see what student builders are creating People who love competitive games with real prizes Curious minds who want to explore AR, 3D visualization, or geospatial tech Anyone who just wants to hang out, play games, and have a good time You don't need to be an expert. You don't need to know AWS. Just show up. The Fine Print All projects and games showcased at this event are custom-built by the AWS Student Builder Group team. Nothing off-the-shelf. Nothing bought. Everything open-sourced where possible. Goodies are distributed at each hourly leaderboard freeze. Arrive early, play all day, maximize your chances. See you there.
