Seriously, Anyone Can Build Something.

We're bringing together non-technical users with big ideas and technical users who share a passion for AI and vibe coding. It's a creative melting pot where curiosity meets capability.

Learn how to begin: We show you how to use AI tools that respond to plain English. It's easy to get started with vibe coding.
2-Hour Sprint: Fast, high-energy, and satisfying. You could walk away with a real project or prototype.
Low Stakes, High Reward: Experiment without fear. Plus, a random attendee will get a $100 Amazon Gift Card!
In-Person & Virtual: We host regular workshops in tech hubs like Seattle, while welcoming virtual participants from anywhere in the world.
All Ages Welcome: Kids and students are encouraged to participate alongside adults.
