Do you love planning tech-related events and new ways for your campus community to build skills? If so, consider leading a Google Developer Student Club!

What are Google Developer Student Clubs?

Google Developer Student Clubs (GDSC) are community groups for university students interested in learning and building with Google technologies. There are over 2000 GDSC chapters, represented in over 100 countries around the world where undergraduate and graduate students explore Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Google Cloud, Android development, Flutter, and other innovative technologies together. GDSC chapters host in-person, project-based events, such as hackathons and Solution Challenge with guest speakers and technical experts provided by Google.
