could explore their technical interests without being held back by external factors or stereotypes. A passion for inclusion set her on a path to growing her <a href="https://developers.google.com/community/gdsc" target="_blank">Google Developer Student Clubs</a> chapter and discovering the <a href="https://developers.google.com/womentechmakers" target="_blank">Women Techmakers</a> (WTM) program.<div><p> After majoring in Computer Science at Waseda University, Rose realized many students had difficulty applying what they learned in school to practical environments and internships. Seeing a gap between theory and practice, she aimed to tackle these problems by founding a <a href="https://developers.google.com/community/gdsc" target="_blank">Google Developer Student Club (GDSC)</a> on her campus. Through her leadership, the club became the largest chapter in Japan, with 177 active members. This post highlights how Rose created a big impact in her community and then became a WTM Ambassador. </p> <p></p><h3>How GDSC Waseda emphasized inclusivity in their community </h3> <p>Rose wanted the Waseda community to champion diversity and inclusion.<strong> </strong>When Rose selected her core team members, she aimed to ensure diverse perspectives and different educational backgrounds were represented. By recruiting members from other majors, people didn't feel like outsiders in the community. As a result, the members of GDSC Waseda consisted of both technical and non-technical majors, with 47.8% being female students, marking an inclusive<strong> </strong>50-50 gender ratio that is not typical among tech communities. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmBxHJRgXndw68K9zeHIbQl4PfdwFcidFCHnWrLr0kAaszfmmvY49KF8kSdhkD94XKarjpF4OEobxlhVQdq1Gf1ri3asHNCayXqOKyMyh9A72ez1Z3CMXu08w0uHWINu1Y_AYPcp9HAMMPZAlNbl5E7_Cxgh4fNy2Z4QIWikIJCls__mnTvORGHlp5/s2000/image4.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="480" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-developer-goog-blog-assets/images_archive/original_images/image4_dcuxSRQ.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>The 2021-2022 GDSC Waaseda core team (Tokyo, Japan)<br /></i></td></tr></tbody></table>After building a core team for the chapter, Rose decided that breaking the language barrier could establish a more inclusive community. Rose wanted students from all backgrounds to be able to communicate with each other so she chose English as the main language for the chapter. Since her university is home to an international community, this helped address a common challenge in Japanese universities: students' lack of confidence to discuss professional fields in English. This brought students together and helped everyone improve their language abilities.<p></p></div><div> <br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Hosting programs to educate, inspire, and connect students</h3><div><br /></div>The chapter hosted over 30 activities like speaker sessions and hands-on programming workshops where students gained a practical understanding of tools like Flutter, Google Cloud Platform, and Firebase.<br /><br /><a href="https://flutter.dev/" target="_blank">Flutter</a> sessions were taught to students so they could create natively compiled mobile apps and submit to the annual GDSC Solution Challenge. <a href="https://firebase.google.com/" target="_blank">Firebase</a> sessions helped backend teams handle user databases as well as get a basic understanding of NoSQL databases. Students then could implement this technology and strengthen their project’s scalability and data security. <br /><br />Through collaborations with other companies, GDSC Waseda helped students to experience different disciplines like coding/programming, team management, and design thinking. These workshops helped students find internship opportunities and even students majoring in non-technical majors, like humanities, secured internships at tech firms in roles such as UX/UI design and PM roles since they were exposed to a practical side of the industry. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdgkawTufP43EovEqt9ndsaoDTqS3gQ3gsoaC23LgRz5yjyzeETc5CppiIcOQQXHSia5A76p9gLclUSU16qMvuGCm0RezZwGjGDrcPbeiM9e0CUo1RM1lVvBaziXOJ7AYD_idTMk5Folp9PJVqMiwsEXGlLaBQplE-0F3RnuVv94nAbtGXomvXGOO/s1999/image5.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="1999" height="427" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-developer-goog-blog-assets/images_archive/original_images/image5_n6v8pdR.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Event Participants from GDSC Waseda (Tokyo, Japan)</i></td></tr></tbody></table><h3 style="text-align: left;">Leadership in action: GDSC Solution Challenge efforts in Japan</h3><div><br /></div>As a GDSC lead, Rose encouraged participation in the annual GDSC Solution Challenge.

Additionally, another team of students from GDSC Waseda and Keio founded an E-Commerce startup from their time at GDSC.<div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Reflections and accomplishments along the way </h3><div><br /></div><div>Through Google connections and using tools like LinkedIn to find other like-minded leaders, Rose reached out to many inspiring women working in the tech industry. She prepared for the events for weeks in advance by conducting several meetings with the speakers. Through these helpful sessions, GDSC Waseda was able to inspire many more women on campus to join their community and discover their interests. Now, GDSC Waseda is proud to have a diverse community with a 50-50 gender ratio in members.</div><h3><blockquote style="font-weight: normal;">“Being a GDSC Lead has brought me tremendous opportunities,” says Rose. “Since one of my biggest objectives was to tackle the gender barrier in the tech industry through my GDSC community, I actively hosted events during International Women's Day (IWD) month.”</blockquote></h3> <div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfdealJgEnxGaPxgBbBmT728v7iCFkcf0p-vBkQgMjxGQxsmeIZA08NGBL7Poj49aF8Q-OP9lW1dxDw0CRTirqwxL2yAbCoNimac16HK92Bzizp33D2GVD9YocKe5uZ6NYcfmQdGi-bQfPEs7-ub44ciy0cPWvVmP3YwC0ACW7Hlgx6UDSs7gpbGoj/s1600/image7.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="632" data-original-width="1019" height="640" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-developer-goog-blog-assets/images_archive/original_images/image7_KEIqOD6.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Rose Niousha with the Global Head of Google Developer Community Program, Erica Hanson (New York City, New York, USA)</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <h3>Building an inclusive future as a WTM ambassador</h3> <p> Rose worked with her Google Community Manager in Japan, Reisa Matsuda, who helped develop her passion for creating a diverse and inclusive community.
