Selected Track: Build with AI (BwAI) Technical Workshop

At I/O 2026, Google unveiled that Google AI Studio is now the single place where you can prompt, build, and deploy full-stack apps—with zero friction. In this beginner-friendly technical workshop, I'll show you:

1. What's new at I/O '26: Gemini 3.5 Flash, Kotlin support for Android, one-click deployment to Cloud Run with Firebase services, and the free Starter Tier (no credit card required).

2. Live demo: From a simple prompt to a fully deployed full-stack app—using AI Studio, Firestore, and Cloud Run.

3. The Firebase Studio story: Why it's sunsetting (March 22, 2027) and how its best features live on in Google AI Studio.

Attendees will leave with a working app, actionable skills, and a clear path to keep building using Google's free learning resources (Google Cloud Skills Boost, AI learning paths, and the free Starter Tier).

What attendees need: A laptop with Wi-Fi and a Google account (no credit card required). All code and resources will be shared via GitHub.
