Amazon Web Services (AWS) is bringing its AI coding tool into Singapore’s higher education system as employers look beyond basic AI use to a harder test. Can workers build software that others can trust, audit and maintain?

The cloud giant will give eligible students and adult learners across Singapore's polytechnics, ITE colleges and universities 1,000 complimentary credits for Kiro, its AI developer tool. The pilot is open to learners aged 18 and above and provides 20 times the standard free tier available to individual users.

The 1,000-credit allocation is designed to support more than casual experimentation. AWS says it can be used for multiple structured exercises or hackathon submissions, or to take a single project from written brief to minimum viable product.
