💡 Topic: Data Vibe Coding with AI: Prompting Strategies That Actually Work
🗣️ Speakers: Greg Michaelson and Jean-Dominique Mercury from Zerve.

How do you get the best results when coding with AI? Should you craft one big, complex prompt and hope for the best, or start small and refine as you go? In this hands-on session, we’ll explore “vibe coding,” the art of shaping your AI prompts so that your code agent works with you instead of against you. You’ll learn practical techniques for structuring prompts, steering outputs, and avoiding common dead ends. Along the way, we’ll build something real together in Zerve, giving you the chance to try it out live, ask questions, and see how different prompting styles play out in practice. While we’ll be working inside Zerve for the live demo, the prompting principles and vibe coding techniques you’ll learn apply to any AI coding tool or workflow.

Watch live and you’ll also earn a Data Vibe Coding 101 Certificate of Completion from The Data Science Festival and Zerve.

Join us for an interactive two-hour code-along hosted with the Data Science Festival on November 6th 2025. Whether you’re a data scientist, analyst, or engineer, you’ll come away with a set of prompting strategies you can immediately apply in your own workflow. These skills are platform-agnostic and designed to improve how you collaborate with AI in any environment.

We’ll cover:

• When to go broad vs. when to go step-by-step with your prompts
• How to use corrective prompts to guide your AI agent toward the right solution
• Common pitfalls that derail AI-assisted coding—and how to avoid them

This isn’t a passive lecture. You’ll sign up, bring a dataset of your choice, and follow along as we build something from scratch. You’ll get hands-on practice inside Zerve, learn techniques you can use anywhere, and leave with both a finished project and a deeper sense of how to get into the “flow” of coding with AI.

This event is for anyone curious about vibe coding for data, from complete beginners to seasoned tech enthusiasts. No prior coding experience needed, just curiosity. In the second half, step into the sandbox: bring a dataset you want to explore, and get hands-on with support from two Zerve experts. They’ll help you play, learn, and build, answering questions and levelling up your skills at any stage.
