Panel: Progression for Software Developers

Meet the Panelists

• Eleni Kadi, Software Developer

• Andreas Andreou, Senior Software Developer

• Ioanna Filippou, Head of Engineering

Workshop: Beyond the Prompt - Agent Development Kit (ADK) Workshop

Speaker: Yoyu Li, Technology Director & Google Developer Expert (AI)

LLMs offer endless possibilities, but turning them into functional applications requires solving unique challenges.

We will build a simple game using Python and the Google ADK framework to learn:

• Designing agent-based architectures with responsible AI.

• Using input/output schemas for structured data.

• Managing game and session states.

• Controlling flow with custom orchestrator agents.

Prerequisites:

• Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): A laptop is required.

• A Google Account.

• Basic knowledge of Python or programming.

• Jupyter/Colab experience is a plus!
