About this event

The Situation

You are a space explorer who has just crash-landed on an uncharted planet. Your ship is in pieces, and your rescue beacon is offline. To coordinate a rescue and find your way back home, you first need to establish your Explorer Identity.

The Mission

This is the official "pre-flight" check for the GDGYYC - Build with AI series. Before we dive into the deep end of multi-agent systems and drone swarms during our weekend workshop, we need to make sure every explorer is equipped and ready for deployment.

In this 90-minute session, we are completing Pre Flight Checklist: Identity.

What You’ll Accomplish

  • Establish Your Uplink: We will walk through the environment setup to ensure your local machine is fully synced with Google Cloud.

  • Deploy Gemini: You will use Gemini (Nano Banana) and multi-turn image generation to create your unique explorer avatar.

  • Light Up the Map: Once your identity is verified, your explorer will officially appear on our live 3D planetary map alongside your fellow survivors.

Requirements

To ensure you can successfully generate your identity, please bring a laptop.

Why Attend This First?

This first Level is our critical path. Completing this event ensures that your technical environment is flawless so that when we hit the 4-hour Weekend Sprint, we can focus entirely on building autonomous agents, MCP servers, and drone formations—without being slowed down by setup bugs.

Don't get left in the wreckage. Secure your identity and prepare for the mission.
