Robotics Fulfilment Center Tour
From our online store to your doorstep, discover how computer science, state-of-the-art engineering, and incredible people deliver customer orders at Amazon.
Students gain exposure to the careers of the future to learn how Amazon’s fulfilment system works and meet the real-life engineers who bring the technology to life. They will learn how hardware, software, and people work together to pick, pack, quality control, and ship orders around the globe. At the end of the tour, students meet a hardware engineer, software development engineer, and systems/solutions engineer.
Aligned to the UK national curriculum, this 45 minute interactive tour explores how algorithms, machine learning, and more power our fulfilment process.
Kahoot!: The fun, game-like tour is available for FREE on Kahoot! to all interested classrooms and families. Students can play against each other while learning about Amazon’s fulfilment process. No account required.
Teacher Toolkit
Our Teacher Toolkit provides educators with guides, worksheets, and
other curriculum-alignned documents. Use these materials to discover all the possibilities with computer science learning and careers of the future, and to set students up for success before, during, and after the tour.
