Apply to Lead the Google Africa Developer Student Club (DSC) Program at your University

For all of you asking for accolades, we're giving something better today. It's more like an assurance, and if you are an undergraduate, you should pay attention because...I wanted to end that line with "opportunity comes but once, " but who says they do? Remember what we always say, "digital has opened windows of opportunities in this age than ever before.

Here's one of the many.

However, before we give you the full gist, you need to answer these quick questions:

Are you currently enrolled between the 2nd - penultimate year in a computer science course or related engineering discipline at any accredited college/university in Africa?

Are you a community-driven student who is passionate about technology and willing to teach other students?

If you answered "yes" to those two questions, then you should apply for the Developer Student Club (DSC) program from Google Developers.

DSC is a Google Developers program for University students, designed to help you build your mobile and web development skills and knowledge. It is open to any student, ranging from novice (developers who are just starting), to advanced (developers who want to further improve their skills). The intention is for you to learn and collaborate as you solve mobile and web development problems for local businesses in your region.

WHAT DOES THE DSC LEAD ROLE ENTAIL?

• Set up a Developer Student Club within your institution/campus;

   

• Create a Core Team - including faculty advisors, fellow students and relevant technology experts - to help in planning and execution of peer group readiness-focused activities;

   

• Organize and deliver mobile development-focused workshops to fellow students;

   

• Enable more students to become trainers and support them in conducting sessions;

   

• Identify local organizations who can benefit from mobile solutions, and facilitate solution development activities;

   

• Host showcases and other events to highlight the solutions developed by students; and

   

• Commit for one-year (2018/19 academic year) to act as a Student Lead.

WHO CAN APPLY?

Like I said before, you must meet the following criteria to apply:

• A student that is currently enrolled between the 2nd - penultimate year in a computer science course or related engineering discipline at any accredited college/university in Africa.

   

• A community-driven student who is passionate about technology and willing to teach other students
