[IT Daily] AWS announced on the 10th that it will expand its Kiro Students program, which it has been operating for college students, to users worldwide. Kiro Students is a program that supports college students in using AI-based development tools, helps them turn ideas into real projects, and supports hands-on experience with AI agent-based development methods.
AWS has broadened development experience related to college students by offering Kiro free of charge for 1 year. This announcement also comes as part of the company’s continued operation of Kiro Students, which has provided college students with AI-based development tools and experience using AI agents in development.
The program began in March with the initial launch of Kiro Students for 11 universities in 2 countries. This latest expansion includes 121 new universities in 16 countries.
The newly included schools in South Korea are Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Kookmin University. As a result, all students currently enrolled at those universities in South Korea will be able to use Kiro Pro free for 12 months.
Kiro Pro is a paid plan that provides 1,000 credits per month. The value of this free offer amounts to USD 240 per year.
Kiro provides spec-driven development within an integrated development environment. As a result, developers can proceed with development after breaking down what they are building into requirements, designs, and sequential task lists.
It also supports the open-source Kiro Crew, allowing students to configure tools and agents to fit their own workflows. This makes it possible to run an unread email notification reminder in the background, and to fetch the latest project changes before class in the background as well. At hackathons, it can also be configured so multiple feature development tasks run in parallel.
AWS said it is expanding Kiro Students to help students use professional development tools directly while they are enrolled, as AI agents increasingly become widely used tools in the development process. AWS explained that the purpose of this expansion is to support students in freely exploring ideas and learning.
