About the communities
Google Developer Groups
Google Developer Groups (GDGs) bring together developers and technologists to connect, learn, and grow alongside Google's technologies and experts. These groups support innovation and growth in the tech world by providing opportunities to learn, share knowledge, and collaborate. Some GDGs focus on specific subject areas, like applying technology to fields such as science, providing a space for developers with specialized interests to connect and collaborate.
Google Developer Groups on Campus
GDGs on Campus provide learning opportunities for aspiring developers from universities and colleges around the world, allowing them to gain hands-on experience, develop essential skills, and build a strong foundation for a tech career. After graduating, GDGs on Campus members can seamlessly transition to a broader GDG community, continuing their learning and collaboration with fellow developers.
Build with AI
Build with AI is back with community-run workshops and hackathons. In 2025, those events empowered 170k+ developers around the world. Now it's your turn to build! Don't just watch the AI revolution—drive it by prototyping, testing, and deploying with the latest Google AI tools and platforms.
Become a leader in your local developer community
Lead a Google Developer Group (GDG) and empower your local developer community. Before you start, check the GDG Chapter Directory to see if a chapter already exists in your city or on your campus. If one does, reach out to the organizers through the chapter page and get involved. If there isn't a GDG near you, apply to start one! Leading a GDG, whether on campus or in your city, allows you to develop leadership skills, gain recognition, expand your network and collaborate with other passionate developers. You'll create a welcoming space for learning and growth, make a positive impact on the tech world, and access valuable resources and support to tackle challenging projects and advance your career.
