Google Developers Baguio Is Bringing a Full Day of AI Building to the University of the Cordilleras on May 9

If you have been waiting for a hands-on reason to move from reading about AI to actually building with it, this is it.

Google Developer Group Baguio is hosting Build with AI 2026 on May 9, 2026 at the University of the Cordilleras, Baguio City — a full-day event designed to get developers and aspiring builders working directly with Google's latest AI tools. Registration is open now, and slots are limited.

What to Expect on the Day

Build with AI 2026 is structured around doing, not just listening. The day includes:

  • Hands-on codelabs using Gemini and Google AI Studio — working sessions where you build, not just watch

  • Expert sessions on building intelligent agents — how to design, structure, and deploy AI agents that actually function

  • Chatbot and AI-driven mobile app development — practical walkthroughs on building AI-powered products for real users

  • Community time — meeting developers, students, and tech builders from across Baguio City and the Cordillera

The format is intentional. Codelabs are structured, guided coding exercises — not slide decks. You will leave the day with working code and a clearer understanding of how Gemini and AI Studio fit into a real development workflow.

Why This Matters for Baguio's Tech Community

GDG Baguio is part of the global Google Developer Groups network — a community-run initiative that brings Google technology and developer education directly to local ecosystems. Events like Build with AI are not streamed from Metro Manila. They are organized and hosted by developers in the community, for the community.

For students at UC, UB, SLU, and other Cordilleran institutions exploring software development and AI, this is a direct access point to current tools and a network of working developers in the city. For founders and builders working on AI-integrated products, it is a structured day to close the gap between knowing what Gemini can do and knowing how to ship something with it.

Baguio's tech community is growing. Events like this are part of how it sustains that growth — not by waiting for the technology to come down from somewhere else, but by building the capacity right here.
