What is GDGoC Yonsei?Google Developer Group on Campus Yonsei University

GDGoC Yonsei is the student developer community at Yonsei University. Members learn with peers through recurring technical sessions, focused team studies, workshops, and collaborative projects. The community brings together students interested in front-end, back-end, mobile, cloud, machine learning and AI, UI/UX, and developer relations. Members turn what they learn into practical work, share their process with one another, and present outcomes through project showcases, demo days, conferences, and hackathons. These activities are designed to help students deepen technical skills, practice communication and leadership, and build solutions for real community needs. This official website documents the people, sessions, and projects behind that work in both English and Korean so students, collaborators, and the wider developer community can follow GDGoC Yonsei’s activities.
