Detailed explanation of the process of building production-grade AI agents, including orchestration with Bedrock AgentCore.
Deep dive into prompt engineering techniques and methods to reduce hallucination for more reliable AI outputs.
Exploration of RAG workflows covering data ingestion, embedding generation, and vector database integration.
Showcases of practical applications such as chatbots and optical search.
High attendee engagement, with over 200 students and AWS Cloud Club members creating an energetic learning environment.
A closing Kahoot mini-game to reinforce key concepts from the session.

Amazon Bedrock provides a robust platform for building, scaling, and operationalizing generative AI applications.
Moving from prototype to production requires structured workflows, including agent orchestration, retrieval layers, and evaluation steps.
Prompt quality, context retrieval, and vector search are critical to reducing hallucination and improving output reliability.
The AWS AI ecosystem supports developers of all backgrounds, making advanced AI development more accessible and practical.

This brought together a large and energetic audience, creating a collaborative space to explore generative AI from multiple angles. The session provided a clear breakdown of how foundational models operate and how Amazon Bedrock simplifies the development and deployment of AI solutions.
Hands-on demonstrations and architectural walkthroughs made the concepts feel grounded and applicable. Seeing real examples of chatbot implementation and summarization workflows helped connect theory to actual implementation.
The event maintained strong engagement throughout, and the Kahoot mini-game offered a fun, interactive way for participants to test how much they had absorbed.
Overall, the session delivered a meaningful blend of technical insight, real use cases, and hands-on learning, making it a valuable experience for students and aspiring AI builders.
