About

Mission

At GDSC McMasterU, we connect, learn, and grow. We connect by enabling students to network with external partners and fostering a collaborative learning environment. Through hands-on workshops, events, and speaker sessions, students learn about tech stacks from database to back-end to front-end. Students grow by gaining the confidence and motivation they need for developing solutions and creating an impact.

Vision

GDSC McMasterU started in 2020, and has grown to be one of the largest chapters in North America. We are a club of passionate students who organize events that showcase Google Technologies, and foster a community to learn about the software industry together. With a following in the thousands across all our social media channels, we continue to engage with students and implement feedback to grow the community!
