As a member of the GDG at UVA, will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of different events, primarily: technical workshops, speaker events, competitions, and social events
We make an effort to host workshops that are relevant to emerging technologies that will be beneficial for club members to learn about. This year, our workshops will be focused on working with topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Web Development, Augmented Reality and Web 3.0. Check out the Events tab above to see what we have done in past workshops.
We plan on bringing speakers to UVA who can provide members with insight into technology in relation to industry and innovation. Members will hear varying perspectives, from technology executives at large companies, to local UVA alums who have started startups.
The biggest competition that GDG will be participating in is Google's National Solution Challenge competition. More info here: https://developers.google.com/community/gdsc-solution-challenge. We are also planning to host small competitions regularly in order to allow members to compete and win prizes. We also hope to host a 24 hour hackathon this semester, and we are excited to see what technological innovations members come up with!
