About
A student institution, not just a club.
GDG Babcock is the Google Developer Group on campus at Babcock University — officially affiliated with Google Developer Groups worldwide. That affiliation gives our community direct access to Google technologies, developer resources, and the global GDG network. But what we are is bigger than an affiliation: a structured home for learning, innovation, visibility, recognition, and continuity across the Babcock tech ecosystem.
Learning
Workshops, study jams, and hands-on programs that take you from your first line of code to shipping real products.
Innovation
We build products the whole campus uses — from BabcockVotes to RADAR — not demos that get shelved.
Visibility
Recognition platforms like The 100 and a publication in RADAR that put student builders on the map.
Continuity
Structured leadership, yearly team archives, and a shared member profile so the institution outlives any one cohort.
Our year
Programs worth marking your calendar for.
Every semester has its flagship, every month its touchpoint, and the year closes on recognition.
First semester
ORBIT
Our flagship initiative opens the year — talks, demos, workshops, and community.
All year long
MEETUPS + RADAR
Monthly meetups keep the community close; RADAR publishes what's next the whole way through.
Second semester
BUILD WITH AI
GDG Week — a concentrated week of daily, hands-on AI workshops to close out the term.
Year end
BABCOCK 100
We recognize the 100 most active builders of the year on babcock100.com.
What membership means.
Becoming a member gives you one profile across the whole ecosystem — your track group chats, the events you attend, the certificates you earn, and eventually your personal Wrapped. It's how we keep track of your journey and how the institution keeps its memory.
