AWS Credits
NOTE that these credit promos require a credit card, which will not be charged unless overages occur. Should overages occur, the AWS Educate team will attempt to work with you. If you do not wish to provide a credit card there are instructions for a non-credit card option, but that gives you less credit. Any questions or concerns: ping Derek on Slack. If you already used up all of your credits during the April Hackathon using this code, let Derek know.

MATLAB Tools
Mathworks held a short workshop on October 6 to discuss some of the tools available in MATLAB that might be of interest for the hackathon. Mathworks is generously providing students with a 60 day trial license to be used for this hackathon event. A set of relevant toolboxes have been preselected as part of this license. Included in the tools are the ability to use MATLAB with cloud computing (i.e., AWS and Azure credits!)
If you believe there is a MATLAB toolbox that is relevant to your project that is not included in this preselected list, please let us know and we can provide access to any additional toolboxes that you might need.
