The new K-6 classroom and school visitation program is funded by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and will be overseen by the Morrow County School District. An AWS Think Big Space is an enhanced classroom for students to explore and cultivate science, technol- ogy, engineering and math (STEAM)-related interests with labs that encourage a hands-on approach where students think big to solve real-world problems. This collaboration brings to- gether regional partners that include early childhood education, post-secondary schools and community sponsors. The AWS Think Big Space serves as an “educa- tional incubator” utilizing cloud computing, AWS technology, and Amazon’s Leadership Principles. Stu- dents and teachers are en- couraged to “Think Big” as they explore cloud com- puting to solve problems using creativity and imag- ination. The AWS Think Big Space is an integrated environment where every- thing from the furniture, technology and curriculum work together to support interactive hands-on learn- Valby Lutheran Church Valby Road Ione Oregon. 97843 Church Services 1st & 3rd Sundays 10:00 AM Available for: Weddings • Funerals Family Events 541-422-7300 Old Country Church All Are Welcome ing.
