The first Amazon Web Services Think Big Space on the West Coast has opened in Boardman and is ready for students and more.

The Port of Morrow, Morrow County School District and AWS hosted the grand opening Thursday of the AWS Think Big Space at the Port of Morrow’s Sustainable Agriculture and Energy Center, Boardman.

The new Think Big Space is a dedicated space for students, educators and communities to explore innovative and imaginative ideas through interactive, hands-on technical education and cloud computing training. This new educational space, funded by AWS and the Port of Morrow, is intended to inspire students to explore and cultivate interests in science, technology, engineering and math using cloud computing and various AWS technologies.

AWS selected the SAGE Center as the first location on the West Coast to receive an AWS Think Big Space. The Morrow County School District will oversee the curriculum, and a set of regional collaborators that include early childhood education and post-secondary schools will support programming.
