We brought Portals to Google’s Cloud Next conference with over 20,000 attendees. Developers at the conference connected to Mexico, Rwanda, Mali and Uganda. We curated 10 young tech leaders from these 4 countries to share their projects and get mentorship directly from Google developers.

Google was able to find a unique way to benefit underserved communities around the world while providing a unique interactive space at their 3-day conference. Of the 10 youths that participated, 6 went on to apply to Google programs in their region. One was even accepted into a prestigious CS Research Mentorship Program in Mexico City.
