Google Cloud Study JAM

15 Nov 2019

The Google Cloud Study Jam was held on the 15 Nov 2019 in conjunction with SIT Day.Over 70 students participated in the event, which consisted of a talk by Mr Shafraz Rahim, a Google Community Cloud manager,which was followed by a workshop on Google Cloud Platform and its capabilities.Despite experiencing technical error in the initial stage,our student helpers adapted and managed to help solve many of the participants problems.Overall,we received overwhelming feedback from our participants who many indicated that they would be interested in future events.Even though this is our first event,this has definitely been a great learning opportunity of us , and we will strive to bring better events in the future!

Kotlin Workshop

18 Dec 2019

During the recent December semester break,our club also conducted a workshop on Kotlin. Despite being the semester break,we received healthy responses and over 30 participants turned up .Other than introducing the basics of Kotlin to our participants,the participants also engaged in building an Android App of 'Scissors Paper Stone' using Android Studio.To practice what was taught,the participants were given questions on a whole range of difficulty,including challenging questions such as detecting a Palindrome.Right after that,we proceeded towards creating the application,and most of our participants managed to create the application within the given time.Overall,many of our participants were satisfied with the workshop,even though some indicated that it could be shorter.We hope that the participants have gain interest towards building Android applications through this workshop and become budding developers themselves!

The role of an DSC lead is to lead a group of core team members to benefit his/her local community

Our club is planning to organize major projects or host tech talks, workshops, hackathons. For the workshops/talks, it can also be non-tech related such as leadership talks.

However, we still plan on teaching google related technologies (APIs, Frameworks, Programming language etc)

To give some examples :

Angular framework to develop web,desktop and mobile app

Kotlin, Google's most preferred language to develop android app in 2019

Tensorflow - Google's machine learning framework

For certain workshops, we may invite Googlers to be our guest speakers!

We understand that students can be concerned with their GPA, hence we will avoid having meetings and hosting workshops during exam periods

We expect our members to be active in group meetings and passionate about IT!
