Google Developer Groups on Campus - University of San Carlos

HackUSC has finally hackened. 🚀
(yes, the post took a while too. recovery period yes)

What started as scattered concepts, chaotic brainstorming sessions, sleep-deprived planning, and “wait guys hear me out” moments finally turned into actual working projects presented last May 9 at the Lawrence Bunzel Building, University of San Carlos, Talamban Campus!

Huge congratulations to our champions, WackyBits, for taking the top spot with Kanato 🏆🔥

Followed by xX_HackUSCChampion_Xx with Pasabay as 1st Runner-Up 🥈

And to Team Cebu Fish Market with FreshCatch as 2nd Runner-Up🥉

Some projects got questioned.
Some got rebuilt halfway through.
Some somehow worked better than expected.

But that’s the fun part.

HackUSC was never just about coding — it was about building something real with other people equally willing to try, fail, pitch, defend, adjust, and keep going anyway.

Massive thanks to our judges — Pjotr Steinmetz from StellarPH, Jaime Alonzo Mitra, and Cris Militante — for lending their time, insights, and brutally honest questions that pushed teams to think deeper and build better.

And of course, this event would not have been possible without Innovare: USC Competition Guild, who truly breathed life into hackathon culture within the department, alongside USC Computer and Information Sciences Council for helping make the entire event possible behind the scenes through logistics, coordination, and support throughout the process 🫶

To everyone who pitched, participated, supported, partnered with us, and filled the room with energy, curiosity, and ideas worth talking about — thank you. GDGoC USC is genuinely proud to have been part of turning those ideas into something real ❤️💙💚💛

HackUSC may be over, but hopefully this is only the start for the projects, teams, and people behind it all. 👏

Code on, innovators!

From one tech community to another ❤️💙💚💛

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms behind the screens, the late-night debugging sessions, the “go touch grass” reminders, and the people keeping future developers alive and functioning. 💐

And of course, to the tech moms out there balancing code, careers, communities, and everything in between — we see you too 🫶

Today’s appreciation post goes to the real MVPs. 🤍

💜 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝘀

From managing the home to debugging our life crises, they’ve been there since Day 1. Behind every dev is a mom reminding us to shut down the computer and finally eat dinner.

Happy Mother’s Day to the real MVPs of our tech journeys!

Big win for the community 🙌

Shoutout to our very own Creatives Officer, Andrea To Chip, on becoming the new President of the USC Computer and Information Sciences Council! 🎉🎉🎉

Whether it be in creating pubmats or putting her ideas on the table, GDG USC has seen her grit, consistency, and initiative firsthand—always stepping up, always delivering. ❤️💙💚💛

We’re confident she’ll bring that same energy in pushing for a better department and stronger student body.

From GDG to bigger stages, we’re proud of you and excited for what’s ahead. Looking forward to building great things together 🚀

⭐️ CISCO’S INCOMING TERM AND PRESIDENT✨

This May 2, 2026, CISCO hosted a Mass led by Father Fillo, SVD to welcome and bless the council for the incoming term. The Executive Committee (including the incoming President, Secretary-General, and VP External) each took an oath to serve the council by the power of God to the best of their abilities.

This was followed by the Presidential Coronation which welcomes Andrea Keisha L. To Chip, formerly IS-1 Ambassador for the council, as the incoming President of CISCO for A.Y. 2026-2027! Her term will be effective in June during the Summer Semester.

As this term comes to an end, may we all cherish all the year has brought us and welcome a new term with new leadership, events and experiences to come!
