Geared up and geeked out to show off your programming skills? Join us for Charleston GDG (Google Developers Group) live coding challenge. Come ready with your laptop and the Android SDK, and we’ll provide instructions on a project to get coded in 2 hours. We’ll then showcase all of the outcomes at the end of the time and a winner will be selected!

Not ready to show your coding chops just yet, still feel free to hang out and grab a beer compliments from our sponsor, Brewpublik!

Everyone is welcome for all parts of the agenda throughout the day. Food and drinks will be provided. RSVP if you can so we can get a good count for refreshments (this is a FREE event, but the better we can plan for food, the less wasted!). The event will be held upstairs at the Harbor Entrepreneur Center on King. Parking is in the lot behind the building, and enter through the door to the left of the Harbor EC heading upstairs.

Google I/O Extended events will be hosted all over the world – check out this year’s info - https://events.google.com/io2016/extended

This would not be possible without our sponsors...a huge THANK YOU! Feel free to check out their sites below.

Google I/O Coding Challenge





Setup & hype – 4:30pm

2 hours of coding time! – 5:00pm

Showcase results & pick winners! – 7:00pm





How it works

You will be presented with a set of requirements and your goal will be to build an Android app that addresses as many of those requirements as you can accomplish in the allotted time. Each participant should arrive with their laptop preconfigured with a complete Android development environment:





Android Studio

Android SDK(s)

Ability to test your code on an emulator or physical device

This is not a teaching event, some basic knowledge of coding will be needed.







Rules of Engagement

Coding for the challenge must be completed during the challenge

Searching the Internet for answers is acceptable

Using code snippets from existing codebase is acceptable (within reason)

Levels of achievements

For the challenge, there will be a list of “achievements” (aka things to include in your app/code) that you’re trying to achieve.

There are different requirements for your comfort level of development. You can determine your level after being presented with the challenge. The levels are novice, intermediate, advanced and master. Judging for winner will be based on accomplishment of achievements within your level and overall impression of the code and app. Winner will receive a Chromecast 2!
