What to expect

Ready to build your first AI agent from scratch? GDG Barcelona is hosting a hands-on workshop at 42 Barcelona where you'll code along to create a complete Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system using Google ADK — no previous agent experience required.

This is a strict code-along session designed for developers who want practical, hands-on experience with Google's latest AI development tools. Whether you're completely new to agentic AI or looking to deepen your understanding of how intelligent agents work under the hood, this workshop starts from first principles and builds up to a working RAG implementation you can take home and expand.

What You'll Build

Over 90 minutes, you'll work through:

  • Agent fundamentals — understanding how AI agents think, plan, and execute tasks
  • Getting started with Google ADK — setting up your development environment and core concepts
  • Step-by-step agent construction — writing the code for a functional agent together
  • Building a RAG system — implementing retrieval-augmented generation to give your agent access to external knowledge

This isn't a lecture — you'll be writing code throughout the session. By the end, you'll have working agent code that retrieves information, processes it intelligently, and generates contextually relevant responses.

Your Speaker

Fabrício Carraro is a Computer Engineer from UNICAMP and Data & Machine Learning Specialist who has become one of Latin America's leading voices in AI. As an AI Developer Advocate at Barcelona Supercomputing Center, he brings both deep technical expertise and the ability to make complex concepts accessible. He's a published AI author, LinkedIn Top Voice for Artificial Intelligence, TEDx speaker, and host of Brazil's #1 technology podcast "IA Sob Controle".

What to Bring

Your laptop is mandatory — this is a 100% hands-on workshop where every attendee codes along together. Come with your development environment ready and a collaborative mindset to ask questions and support fellow participants.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is perfect for software engineers, data scientists, and technical builders who want to understand how modern AI agents work at a code level. If you're curious about agentic AI, want to explore Google's developer tools, or need a practical foundation for building intelligent systems, this session will give you working knowledge and real code to build upon.
