Join Women in Big Data SoCal for a hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop where we’ll explore vibe coding with Lovable and turn an idea into a working app.What You'll Learn
In this interactive workshop, you’ll get an introduction to:- Vibe coding and how AI can help you build software
- Using Lovable to turn an idea into a functional app
- How to think about your app concept, user experience, and features
- Going from an idea to a working prototype
- Tips and lessons learned from actually building and launching with AI
No prior coding or app-development experience is required. Come with an idea, curiosity, or simply a willingness to experiment!
The workshop will be led by Christina Karaba, founder of yourcore, a self-discovery-through-style app that she built using vibe coding with Lovable.
Christina will share her experience going from idea to building a real product with AI-powered tools and show us what’s possible when you’re willing to experiment and build.Event Details
