Hands-on Workshop

Build apps
by feel.

A one-day workshop where you go from idea to working application using AI as your co-pilot. No syntax memorization. No boilerplate. Just you and the vibe.

What you’ll build

Four progressively challenging projects, each one teaching you a new layer of the vibe coding workflow.

01

Personal Landing Page

Start simple. Describe your ideal portfolio page in plain English and watch it materialize. Learn how prompting style affects output quality — and how to iterate fast.

prompt → output → refine
02

Mood Tracker with Charts

Your first interactive app. You’ll add state, user input, and data visualization — all through conversation. This is where the “vibe” clicks.

state + data viz
03

Recipe Finder with API

Connect to the outside world. Pull real data from a public API, handle loading and error states, and build something you’d actually use at home.

APIs + error handling
04

AI Chat Assistant

The capstone. Build a conversational AI interface with streaming responses, message history, and a personality you define. Ship it to a real URL before you leave.

AI integration + deploy

How it works

Four phases, one day. Each phase builds on the last.

Morning: Learn the Scales

You learn how AI coding tools actually work — what they’re good at, where they hallucinate, and how to prompt for structure, not just output. Think of this as learning chord shapes before you improvise.

Late Morning: Build Your First Two

Projects 01 and 02. Guided but hands-on. You’ll make mistakes, and that’s the point — learning to debug with AI is a skill unto itself.

Afternoon: Go Off-Script

Projects 03 and 04 give you more freedom. The prompts are yours. The architecture is yours. You start to feel the vibe — that moment when you and the AI are riffing together.

End of Day: Ship It

Every project gets deployed to a real URL. You leave with a portfolio of four working apps and the muscle memory to build more on your own.

Who this is for

Yes, this is for you if…

You’ve been curious about building software but the traditional path — bootcamps, textbooks, 12-week courses — feels like overkill for what you actually want to make.

You’re a designer, marketer, founder, or creative who wants to prototype ideas without waiting for a developer.

You’ve tried ChatGPT for code but ended up in copy-paste hell and want to learn the right way to work with AI tools.

Maybe not if…

You’re an experienced developer looking for advanced AI/ML techniques. This workshop is about the craft of building with AI, not the science behind it.

You want to deeply learn a specific programming language. We care about outcomes, not syntax. You’ll write very little code by hand — and that’s the point.

What to bring

  • A laptop with Chrome or Firefox installed
  • A free GitHub account (we’ll help you set one up)
  • An idea for something you’d like to build (even a vague one)
  • Curiosity and willingness to experiment
  • No coding experience necessary — seriously
  • We provide all AI tool access for the day

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. If you can write an email, you can vibe code. The AI handles syntax — you handle intent. We teach you the prompting patterns that make it work.

What will I actually walk away with?

A deployed, working web app on a real URL you can share. Plus the prompting playbook, a GitHub repo with your code, and the confidence to build your next idea solo.

Which AI tools do we use?

Primarily Claude and Cursor. We also touch on v0, Vercel, and Supabase for deployment and backend. All tools have free tiers sufficient for the workshop.

What if I get stuck during the build?

That is literally the point. Getting stuck and unstuck with AI is the core skill. Instructors float the room the entire day. Nobody gets left behind.

Is this a lecture or hands-on?

90%% hands-on. Short concept intros (10–15 min), then you build. Think cooking class, not cookbook reading.

Can I attend remotely?

The first cohort is in-person only. We are exploring a remote format for future runs — join the list to get notified.

“I thought the hard part would be the code. Turns out the hard part is describing what you actually want — and this workshop teaches exactly that.”

One day. One idea. One deployed app.
