Google I/O 2026 Countdown: Submit Your Gemini-Powered Creation
Google DeepMind is calling for developers and creators to submit their most impressive projects built with GeminiApp or Google AI Studio. The best submissions — spanning protein simulators, physics engines, and math-based art — will be featured on the Google I/O 2026 main stage.
Google I/O 2026 Schedule
- May 12: The Android Show | I/O Edition (Android 17 announcements expected)
