Build with AI: Agent Development & Community Kickoff

Keep the Momentum Going!

Fresh off the energy of our 2-day Build with AI Waterloo marathon? We aren't slowing down! Whether you joined us for the main event or are just looking to start your journey into the world of autonomous agents, it’s time to get hands-on.

We are thrilled to announce a brand-new, three-part series dedicated to mastering Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK). This is Part 1: The Beginner Sessions, designed specifically for those ready to take their first steps in building intelligent AI agents from the ground up.

What’s on the agenda? In this session, we will give you a brief of all the exciting things we've got in store for the community this year after which we’re going "Way Back Home." Using the official Google Codelabs framework, we will walk through Level 0 instructions to understand the core architecture of ADK. You’ll learn how to configure your environment, define agent behaviors, and see your first AI agent come to life.
