Hello GDG Lawrence Community!

We're back in 2026 with our IN-PERSON events!!! Please come and join us for a series of in-person events in which we'll dive right into hands-on codelabs and workshops dealing with Gemini, Agent Development Kit, and building distributed Multi-Agent Systems!

Do you want to build the skills that will put you at the cutting edge of the AI revolution? Then you can't miss these sessions.

We will introduce the concepts of multi-agent systems starting with the first session in which we'll focus on the following:

- Building your first AI companion: In this Codelab, you will bring to life a visual, interactive AI companion. This is more than just a standard, text-in-text-out chatbot. Imagine a character living on a webpage. You type a message, and instead of just seeing text back, the character looks at you and responds out loud, with its mouth moving in sync with its words.

- Build a Gemini-Powered YouTube Summarizer: By the end of this lab, you will have a working web application that can generate summary from YouTube videos. You will also have a better understanding of how to use Gemini API, Google Gen AI SDK, and integrate them together to build a web application.

This is building the foundation for upcoming sessions in which we'll dive into more engaging and more complex scenarios.
