Through a collaborative effort with Prestasi Junior Indonesia, Alkademi Foundation, and Yayasan Sagasitas Indonesia, West Java<\/span> students and teachers demonstrated their expertise in Gen AI technology. This record attempt represents the culmination of the students and teachers’ year-long journey studying AI’s creative potential and responsible usage. The students showcased their learnings by developing Gen AI applications such as project management assistants, a personal carbon footprint companion, and more.<\/p>\n During the record attempt, high school students brought pre-conceptualized Gen AI app ideas, such as what prompts and widgets would be needed to create a new app, while teachers and non-profit staff turned the ideas to life by inputting it into PartyRock, an Amazon Bedrock playground. Participants worked from either their schools or the Amazon Think Big Space<\/a><\/u> at SMK Negeri 1 in Karawang, Indonesia<\/span> during the attempt on October 13<\/span>. The record attempt was conducted under GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS rigorous verification standards, including that all applications are demonstrably functional, and unique from other submissions and certified by a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator.<\/p>\n Amazon is deeply committed to help prepare Indonesians for the digital future, with a focus on cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
