Welcome to the GDSC-Akwa Ibom State University

Hi there!

We hope to bridge the gap between theory and practice by holding informative talks and hands-on workshops, teaching skills such as Machine Learning, Android Development, Web Development, Google Cloud, and more, at both beginner and advanced levels. So, beginners are welcome.

We will also be focusing on non-technical skills and topics such as startups, internships, and entrepreneurship. In addition, we plan to focus on the role of women in tech and empowering women (So Ladies in AKSU, here is an opportunity for you to get into tech).

Akwa Ibom State University is a government-established (State-owned) University in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, Africa. It is tech-based with much support for technology-based activities. Google Developer Student Clubs (GDCS) one of the sounding Clubs in the University since 2019 has done much to contribute to the University's core values.
