GDG Sydney & GDG University of Sydney are collaborating for a special International Women's Day hands-on workshop!

About the Event

Join us for Postcards from the Cloud - build a nostalgic AI agent that:

- Fetches live weather via coordinates

- Generates poetic summaries

- Creates postcard images with Imagen

- Delivers via email

👩‍💻 Workshop Details

You’ll learn how to design and deploy composable AI systems using MCP and Gemini ADK. We’ll build and deploy custom MCP servers, connect to remote tools like Google Maps, experiment with generative media tools such as Imagen, store outputs in Cloud Storage, and orchestrate everything inside a production-ready agent deployed on Cloud Run.

Rather than jumping straight to complexity, we’ll progressively layer features - starting simple and adding advanced capabilities like image generation and email delivery as optional extensions. This approach ensures you walk away with a working system, whether you stop at the core agent or build the full multi-service pipeline.

By the end, you won’t just have built a postcard agent - you’ll understand how to chain MCP servers, deploy polyglot tool services, and evolve an agent into a reusable backend service.
