Vibe Coding: Build an App in 60 Minutes with GenAI
Curious about how AI is changing software development? Join us for a rapid-fire, hands-on workshop where we use "vibe coding"—intuitive, conversational instructions—to build a working application from scratch.
- For Newcomers: Discover how to turn plain English into functional code and build your first app.
- For Experienced Coders: Test the limits of GenAI for rapid prototyping, bypass standard boilerplate, or pair up to mentor a beginner.
Bring your laptop and an idea (or riff off of one of ours!). You will leave with a working project and the fundamental skills to guide AI in software generation.
