Join the Codesmith community in this pair programming workshop. Pair programming is a core part of the Codesmith learning experience, and this workshop is a great opportunity to practice this skill. Coders of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join! Make sure to also RSVP for this event on our website to receive the Zoom link!

​Here’s what to expect:

• We’ll kick off with a quick intro to pair programming and tips on how to enhance your technical communication.
• Then, you’ll be paired up with someone of a similar coding level to work on a challenge—one person will be the driver, writing the code, while the other will be the navigator, guiding the logic.
• Plus, a mentor will be on hand to help you work through any blocks that come up.
• Please note that you’ll need a working microphone in order to participate, and make sure to join on time as you’ll be paired with a partner at the beginning of the workshop.

If this is your first time trying pair programming, we recommend reviewing Codesmith’s guide on How to Technically Communicate to get the most out of the session. Take advantage of this session to practice key programming skills, build confidence, and connect with fellow learners!

In this hands-on live workshop led by Will Sentence (Codesmith CAO & Co-founder), you’ll learn to build your own AI agent: one that watches for visual cues (like a screenshot of a calendar invite or a coding bug) and takes contextual, meaningful action on your behalf, all without a single click. Make sure to also RSVP for this event on our website to receive the Zoom link!
‍
What you’ll learn:

• How to build an AI agent that reacts to screenshots and automates actions (like adding events to your calendar).
• The fundamental 3-part flow behind every AI agent: trigger, context, and action.
• How to use AI to write code, run functions and integrate with tools like Google Calendar or your to-do app.

Guided step-by-step by Will, you’ll build a zero-UI AI agent that works right alongside you. Imagine this:

• Screenshot a coding error → instantly get top fixes, automatically saved
• Screenshot your notes → watch them turn into tasks in your to-do app

No buttons, no menus. Just smart, seamless automation built by you.

Is this workshop for you?
This workshop is for anyone (from beginners to experienced engineers) who wants to harness AI to automate their digital workflows and build tools that work with them.
